🎯 WALT (We Are Learning To)

We are learning to identify and classify different types of matter around us.

I can find examples of solids

I can find examples of liquids

I can find examples of gases

I can explain why something is a solid, liquid, or gas

1. Walk around and find 3 examples of each type of matter. Draw or write them below:

SOLIDS (things that keep their shape):

LIQUIDS (things that flow and take the shape of their container):

GASES (things we can't see but might smell or feel):

2. Circle the correct type of matter:

Water in a cup is a: solid / liquid / gas

A wooden block is a: solid / liquid / gas

The air we breathe is a: solid / liquid / gas

3. What was the most interesting thing you discovered on your matter hunt?

4. CHALLENGE: Can you think of something that can change from one type of matter to another? (Hint: Think about water!)

Need help? Work with a buddy and use the matter hunt checklist from your teacher.

Ready for more? Find examples of matter that can change states (like ice melting) and explain what happens.

5. Extension Activity: Draw a picture showing how ice changes to water and then to steam:
