Item description

This unit includes activities to help students build a conceptual understanding of states of matter and how molecules move within each. This is a rather abstract concept for young students, so providing hands on experiences where they can make observations and construct their own knowledge is the key to successful learning.

Specifically, this unit addresses this
Next Generation Science Standard for fifth grade:5-PS1-3. Make observations and
measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

Activities Included in this
unit:

Activity 1: States of Matter Log:
Students track the different states of matter they encounter in their lives.
Turn it into a class contest to see who can list the most.

Activity 2: Movin’
Molecules Students explore how molecules move in solids, liquids, and gases.
