Grade 5

Physical Science: States of Matter

Learning Strand: Physical Science - States of Matter

Learning Standards: Students will
  • differentiate between properties of objects (e.g. size, shape, weight) and properties of materials (e.g. color, texture, hardness).
  • compare and contrast solids, liquids, and gases based on the basic properties of each state of matter.
  • describe how water can be changed from one state to another by adding or taking away heat.

Chem4Kids - learn about the different states of matter and how matter changes.

Phases of Matter - See atoms in action to learn about the different states of matter.

What is a solid, liquid and a gas? - an elementary introduction to the three states of matter. Different levels are provided.

What is matter? - a very kid friendly, easy to read introducton to matter including the property of objects

SchoolChem - information about how matter changes.

Matter - explores how motion changes the state of matter.
