This solid, liquid and gas labelling activity aids learning:

This fantastic solid, liquid and gas labelling activity is a fun and effective way for your class to learn about the different states of matter.

Labelling activities like this one are brilliant for providing your class with an exciting visual way of learning a topic. When it comes to topics, especially topics like states of matter, a more visual experience can be beneficial for a child's learning process. Not only that, but an interactive activity can help to break up the monotony of regular lessons while continuing work on a topic.

Twinkl Go! resources like this one are great for use as whole-class activities, too, as they can easily be set up on an interactive whiteboard so that everyone can see. They're also designed for remote learning environments, so you can use them in online lessons or even set them as homework.

Teachers can share this resource with customised groups via children's own usernames. Just launch, then click Add to Lesson.

Parents can too! All you have to do is share this resource with your own children via their own username. Just launch, then click Add to Lesson.

Why should children learn about solids, liquids and gases?

We deal with the different states of matter, as well as how they change, on a daily basis in our everyday lives. Whether you're boiling some water to go in your morning tea, or you're freezing some to use as ice cubes in your refreshing cold drink, matter is something we may not think about all the time, but it's always there in some form or another. By learning about solids, liquids and gases, children can begin to identify states of matter, no matter what form they're in.

Not only that, but learning about states of matter can give children a light introduction to atoms and molecules as a topic, as well as aid the study of other topics, such as the water cycle.

What is the difference between solids, liquids and gases?

Solids, liquids and gases all have their own unique characteristics that make them what they are.

A solid is unique because it has atoms with low kinetic energy, and these atoms have a very rigid structure. This makes solids the only state of matter that can resist force applied to its surface.

A liquid is unique for a different reason. Liquids have atoms with more kinetic energy, meaning they're structurally more flexible. Despite this, the atoms of a liquid still have an intermolecular bond, which means liquids can conform to different shapes, but still keep a consistent volume.

A gas is unique because its atoms still have high levels of kinetic energy. This kinetic energy, however, is higher than that of a liquid, and means that there is vast separation between particles, making a colourless gas invisible to the naked eye!

A heating curve is a line graph that shows how a substance changes when heat is added. It is useful as we can use it to see the changes in states and any relationships formed between the materials.

This paper examined the benefits of a teacher led classroom discussion. It highlights how this strategy and methods of assessment helps improve students knowledge and skills. It creates a positive learning experience. The paper made clear how there was an increase in student achievement due to the fact there was a proven increase in deep thought and critical thinking skills.

This paper highlighted misconceptions children aged (9-15) carry around the topic of the states of matter and the changes of state. This was an important paper for me to review as it prepared me for the potential knowledge of the students and how I would prepare for the class. It is also an interesting read to see how the children's mind works in relation to science and chemistry.
