Grade: 5th


Lesson Summary: This science lesson will be taking a look at the three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas). Matter is all around us. Matter is made up of atoms that form together to create a solid, liquid, or gas.


During this lesson students will…

  • read from the adopted science textbook
  • take notes of each state of matter that includes illustrations, examples of each state of matter, and how heat and cooling impacts each phase.
  • watch a Brainpop video on the states of matter
  • an art activity that will allow students to model the particles in each phase of matter.
  • compete an assessment on a Google Form to determine if they understand states of matter.
