What forms (states) can matter take?

How can matter change from one state to another?

How would you describe each state of matter?

What happens to a liquid when it gets really cold?

What happens to a solid if it gets really hot?

What happens if a liquid gets really hot?

These are used for different experiments in school lessons and used in basic everyday life needs. You are also able to use these when teaching the three states of matter.

I've seen balloons used in many different activities in a classroom. Some examples are to have students fill up three balloons: one with frozen water, one with room temperature water, and then one with air. Also, students can use balloons to make different shapes and animals.

These materials can teach students how plants grow and the different parts of a flower or plant.

Candy seems always to be used in a variety of different lessons. For example, you can represent multiplication by putting the candies in equal groups or operating them to determine fractions.

Crayons are used all the time in a classroom. Sometimes you use them just to color pictures for a story or on a worksheet. Other times you can melt down the crayons to demonstrate the states of matter.

Students can make ice cream from a bag. Then they can use the ice cream that they made to make root beer floats. While this is happening, they will have to observe and take notes on what happens when you mix root beer and soda. The students will be able to see this reaction. Another way you can use ice cream is to have an ice cream party at the end of the nine weeks for the students that have memorized all of their multiplication facts. The students start at one and work their way up to 12. Each time they pass each number, they get another scoop of ice cream.

Paint is a universally used item. There are many different types of paint that you could do in a classroom. For example, you can have the student's finger paint a picture of things they found outside or paint a picture that goes with a story they read. You can also have students express what they have learned through painting.

Hot chocolate is a good thing to do with students when it's cold outside and around the holidays. You could use this as a teaching lesson to allow each student to measure out the amount of water they need to make the hot chocolate. Then you can have the students write down and observe the changes in the mixture. They will also be able to watch the different stages of matter.

Snacks are always a fan favorite in classrooms, especially when there's a variety. There are many different things you could do with these snacks. For instance, you could have the students determine the different shapes and colors of the snacks and then write a summary of their findings.

By adding them into a lesson, it will engage the students' attention even more than usual. For example, you can show the students how the popsicles are liquid one day, then once frozen; you can show the students the frozen popsicles. Next, you can have them draw and write what changed about the popsicles. Then during recess, the students can eat the popsicles. They then can write what they saw happen to the frozen popsicles while they were eating them.

There are two parts to this assignment. The first part is filling out the worksheet. The second part is creating the toy. The students have to be creative when coming up with a toy that uses a solid, liquid, and gas. Students would find this fun and exciting because it's a hands-on activity.

Students have to use the cheerios to represent what atoms look like during each state of matter during this worksheet. Students are engaged because they can physically see the atom particles and place them correctly. Students can also eat the cheerios after the assignment is complete.

This experiment always blows the student's minds. The balloon will blow up without even blowing air into it. You add sugar and yeast into a bottle with a balloon over the top to start this experiment. Over time the yeast interacts with the sugar and release C02, causing the balloon to inflate. This is always a fantastic lesson to do with students because none of them believe that this could happen.

This game is a great tool to use with students. It allows them to have fun and learn at the same time. During the game, it teaches the students about the different properties of matter.

For this experiment, students fill a cup up with sprite and then add the raisins. The students have to examine what happens next. Do the raisins sink or float? After teaching the lessons, the students have to answer the question and explain what is happening during the experiment. Students are engaged in this exercise because it's something new that they have never seen before, and to many of them, it makes them start wondering about even more things.

During this experiment, students can make oobleck. Oobleck is like slime, so kids would really enjoy this. Once the oobleck is completed, the students have to test its state of matter. This gets confusing for most students because it seems like a solid, but once you stand on it, you start to sink. This allows the students to think and ponder on what's happening during this experiment.
