Solids, Liquids, And Gases by The Ontario Science Centre. o This is an excellent book full of experiments which are very easy for kids to do. It has experiments such as Balloon blow-up, Rock Candy, Ice Fishing, Ice Cream Dream and Indoor Rain. All these experiments help kids to understand the states of matter in a fun way. After each experiment, it tells you What is happening and the what is the experiment trying to explain. Vocabulary Condensation

Why Does Ice Melt? By Jim Pipe o This book is a very good one for kids to read. It has very good information about the states of matter. In addition, there are kids throughout the book keeping up a conversation about what is going on in the book. This makes it easy to understand and the illustrations are very helpful. Vocabulary N/A Change it! Solids, Liquids, Gases and You by Adrienne Mason. o This is a very kid-friendly book. It has great illustration that go along with the text. There are several activities for kids to do and they have to do with changing the state the matter of something. Also, within the text, it asks students to find how many liquids there are on the picture. On the back, it has a section for parents and teachers explaining each topic in a more sophisticated way. Vocabulary Matter Water Vapor

Experiments with Solids, Liquids, and Gases by Christine Taylor-Butler. o This book explains each state of matter very nicely. It talks about what traits they all share. The book has great colorful pictures. The book is divided in chapters and each chapter has experiments with very easy to understand instructions and pictures to help the kids while doing the experiment. Wit in the book, the author included pages of very interesting facts (ex. Walking on Water talks about the water striders and their physical features that allow them to walk on water. Vocabulary Molecules Bond Solid Liquid Gas

 Properties Hypothesis

Solids, Liquids, and Gases by Carol Ballard. o This book goes into more detail about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. It has a very nice diagram on the arrangement of the particles in each state. It also has information about how a solid becomes a liquid, how a liquid becomes a solid, how a liquid becomes a gas, and how a gas becomes a liquid. Vocabulary Freezing Particles Reversible Melting Evaporation

GASES

Carbon Dioxide

The three most common states of matter are liquids, solids, and gases. There are examples that represent each. Juice, milk, and water are all examples of liquid. An ice cube, ice cream, and an apple are examples of solids. Lastly, some gases include helium, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.

Key Word: I would use this graphic organizer in my classroom because it does a great job on differentiating the three most common states of matter. They are very neatly broken into the three categories and it shows very common examples which the students can associate with their everyday life.

Sequence Graphic Organizer 2 Use this template to facilitate sequential comprehension. A solid go through stages until it becomes a solid. Here, it is shown that matter could start as a solid. If melted, it turns into a liquid. If that liquid evaporates, it turns into a gas. FROM SOLID TO GAS SOLID

MELT

LIQUID

EVAPORATION

GAS

Key Word: After I would use this in my classroom because it gives students the idea on how states of matter can go through different procedures and become other states of matter.

Compare and Contrast Graphic Organizer 3 Use this template to facilitate comprehension of compare and contrast. Solids, Gases, and liquids are all made up of molecules. Even though they share that fact, they have similarities which give them the characteristics that they have. Solids do not change shape, they always have the same volume, and the molecules are very close to each other. Gases do change shape, they do not always keep the same volume, and the molecules are very far apart from each other. Lastly, liquids do not change their shape, always keep the same volume, and the molecules are moderately close to each other.

SOLID Does change shape Always have the same volume. Molecules are very close to each other. STATES OF MATTER (MADE UP OF MOLECULES)

GASES Does change shape It does not always keep the same volume Molecules are very far Apart from each other. Move freely

Does not change its shape Always keeps the same volume Molecules are moderately close to each other LIQUID

Key word: This is a very good graphic organizer to use especially when talking about what makes up these three states of matter. Students can have this as a reference to distinguish how the molecules are arranged in each.

Cause/Effect and Problem/Solution Template 4 Use this template to facilitate comprehension of cause/effect and problem/solution relationships. Water can be a liquid, a gas, and a solid. If kept at room temperature, the water is a liquid. If that liquid is boiled, it becomes a gas. And it the liquid is frozen, that water becomes a solid.

THE THREE PHASES OF H2O PROCESS DONE TO H2O STATE OF MATTER

Key Word: This is an excellent graphic organizer to use when talking about the states a matter. Water is a pretty basic matter to use because it can be all three states of matter. A lot of experiments can be done using water to improve the students understanding on the topic.
