Matter Around Us: Solids, Liquids, Gases
Exploring the three states of matter Year 3-4 Science
What is Matter?
Everything around us is made of matter! Can you touch it or see it? Let's explore what we already know
Meet the Three States of Matter
Solids - keep their shape Liquids - flow and take the shape of their container Gases - fill all the space available
Sorting Challenge
Work in groups of 4-5 Sort the items into three groups: Solids, Liquids, Gases Discuss why each item belongs in its group
Let's Observe Together
Ice cubes - hard and keep their shape Water - flows and takes the shape of its container Air in balloon - fills all the space inside
Properties of Each State
{"left":"SOLIDS: Keep their shape, Hard to squash, Don't flow\nLIQUIDS: Flow easily, Take shape of container, Can be poured","right":"GASES: Fill all available space, Usually invisible, Can be compressed"}
Share Your Discoveries
Each group shares one example of each state Describe the properties you observed Record your findings on the worksheet
Matter is Everywhere!
"Matter is all around us - in our homes, in nature, and even in the air we breathe!"
