Time: Approximately 45 minutes
Materials:
Previous day's KWL form
Chart that lists Solid, Liquid, Gas
Procedure:
1. Review previous day's lesson and definition of matter.
2. Now that we know what matter is, list examples of matter (i.e., desk, chair, pencil, milk, steam, etc.)
3. The teacher will identify three solids and ask, "What do these have in common?" (The teacher is trying to get the students to identify solids, liquids, and gasses from the list.)
4. Put up a chart with headings, SOLID, LIQUID, GAS.
5. The students will suggest examples of matter that fit each category.
6. Closure: What are the 3 states of
matter?

examples of matter, the students will be able to categorize them
correctly.
