Introduction

                                     States of Matter

5-PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.

Your goal is to identify and understand the different states of matter.

Task

Your job is to research the different states of matter using your textbook and the internet. 

Be sure to answer the following Essential Questions:

1. What are the three states of matter?

2. Are the particles that make up matter too small to be seen?

3. Does matter continue to exist even when it changes form?

  • Once you have all of your research done, you will develop a model that describes that matter is made of particles. 

  • Create a booklet that describes each state of matter

Process

1. Watch the video about the different states of matter

 

What is Matter?

Particles of Your World

2. Explore each of the different states of matter

Solids        Liquids        Gases 

 

3. Now that you have explored and learned about each state of matter, you would develop a model that describes and shows each state of matter. 

4. You will also create a booklet that has the following:

  • Title

  • Solid Page

  • Liquid Page

  • Gas Page

  • Explains each state of matter

  • Includes Pictures or Visuals of each state of matter

  • Done neatly

  • Explanations are clear and concise

Conclusion

You have learned about all of the different states of matter. You have discovered that many substances can change. The state of matter can change from one state to another. Your research, model, and booklet should have given you a good idea of how matter continues to exist when changing forms, and what each state of matter looks like compared to each other.
