Each game has built-in levels that are challenging. As children progresses, they can choose to play at a higher level. This means that they have mastered the content of the previous level. One of the games, "Matter Detector", assigns the role of a detective to the player, who needs to discover which items are identified as matter. This will help children understand the difference between matter and light or shadow.

States of matter games are also offered. In these games, a child must look at a list of objects and answer the question. The question has to do with what state the matter is in, such as gas, solid, or liquid.

Another game offered focuses on measuring matter. This game asks questions about what tool may be used to measure specific matter; and a child must shoot the correct answer with an arrow. Games like this use critical thinking skills, as well as hand-eye coordination. Memory skills are also improved.

Whether the objective of the game is to identify matter, measure matter, or identify states of matter, Turtle Diary can assist you in making sure your child has the resources available for a bright future.

STATES OF MATTER FOR KIDS

What is matter? In science, matter refers to any substance that has mass and takes up space. Matter consists of tiny particles called atoms and it has different forms depending on how the atoms are arranged. This is what we call states of matter.

WHAT ARE THE THREE STATES OF MATTER?

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Although a fourth state of matter exists, called plasma, it's not shown in any demonstrations.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE STATES OF MATTER?

Solid: A solid has tightly packed particles in a specific pattern, which are not able to move about. You will notice a solid keeps its own shape. Ice or frozen water is an example of a solid.

Liquid: In a liquid, the particles have some space between them with no pattern and so they are not in a fixed position. A liquid has no distinct shape of its own but will take the shape of a container that it is put into. Water is an example of a liquid.

Gas: In a gas the particles move freely from one another. You can also say they vibrate! Gas particles spread out to take the shape of the container they are put in. Steam or water vapor is an example of a gas.

CHANGES OF STATES OF MATTER

When matter changes from one state to another it's called a phase change. Phase changes are examples of a physical change. Learn more about physical changes here.

Some examples of phase changes are melting (changing from a solid to a liquid), freezing (changing from a liquid to a solid), evaporation (changing from a liquid to a gas), and condensation (changing from a gas to a liquid).

Does one phase take more energy than another? The change to gas takes up the most energy because in order to do so the bonds between the particles have to completely separate.

The bonds in a solid only have to loosen up a bit to change phase such as a solid ice cube changing to liquid water.

Check out our solid liquid gas experiment for an easy way to demonstrate phase change for kids.
