States of Matter

We are currently studying about the states of matter for science. We have discussed the properties of solids and liquids, and we will be discussing gases this week, and moving on to discuss evaporation, condensation and the water cycle.
Here are some great resources to help you study and discuss the states of matter with your child:

Websites

Here are some websites with some good introductory explanations and demonstrations to show what the states of matter are. 

• I Teach Bio Video- great explanatory video about the states of matter
• Harcourt States of Matter Demo
• Study Jams States of Matter video

 Games

Here are some great games and activities to help your child practice the states of matter and learn about how the states of matter change.

• States of Matter sorter - sort objects by their state of matter
• Changing States of Matter  -
  
• Gases Interactive –
• Solids and Liquids-
• Interactive States of Matter – What Happens when you freeze/heat different things
