States of Matter Resources, Activities, and Handouts

Are you looking for resources to teach or review states of matter with your science students? This blog post is chock-full of resources to help any teacher or homeschool parent.The first resource is a vocabulary handout for students or you could print it as a poster for display.The next resource could be used in different ways while studying states of matter.First, your students could use this as a note catcher as the teacher leads a discussion on solid, liquid, gas or as students read a chapter on states of matterOr the teacher could use this as an exit ticket for the end of a lesson to see what students know and where they need assistance during future lessons.Understanding that some changes in the state of matter are reversible and others are irreversible is an important fact to understand. This resource gives students the opportunity to identify whether an action is reversible or not. Take it a step further and ask the students to share with their group why something is or is not reversible.The last activity is a hands-on learning activity where students sort the items in liquids, solids, and gases. The set comes with three headings so students have a way to see how they are visually sorted.
