🎯 WALT: We Are Learning To identify solids, liquids and gases

Success Criteria:

✓ I can describe what I know about solids, liquids and gases

✓ I can sort materials into the correct groups

✓ I can explain my choices

📝 Part 1: KWL Chart - What do you know about states of matter?

1. KNOW: What do I already know about solids, liquids and gases?

2. WANT TO KNOW: What do I want to learn about solids, liquids and gases?

3. LEARNED: What have I learned? (Fill this in at the end of the lesson)

Instructions: Look at each material below. Put a tick (✓) in the correct column to show if it is a solid, liquid or gas.

4. Sort these materials:

Material	Solid	Liquid	Gas
Ice cube	____	____	____
Milk	____	____	____
Air in a balloon	____	____	____
Wooden pencil	____	____	____
Water	____	____	____
Steam from kettle	____	____	____

5. Choose one material from the table above. Explain why you put it in that group:

I chose: ________________

For EAL Learners:

• Use pictures or real objects to help identify materials

• Work with a partner who can explain in your first language

For SEND Learners:

• Start with just 3 materials instead of 6

• Use colour coding: Red = Solid, Blue = Liquid, Yellow = Gas

Extension Activity (Challenge!):

6. Can you think of something that can be all three states? Draw or write about it:

Dyslexia-Friendly Reading:

• Key words: SOLID (hard, keeps shape), LIQUID (flows, takes shape of container), GAS (invisible, fills space)
