The Three States of Matter
...
Subject Area: Science | Grade Level: 3
Lesson Length: 15 minutes or less
Keywords/Tags: Matter, Solid, Liquid, Gas, Properties
Lesson Description: In this lesson, students will compare and contrast the Three States of Matter: Solid, Liquid, and gas. Students will learn different properties such as shape, volume, compressibility, and fluid and will use these properties to identify the states of matter.

  • SC.3.P.8.2 Measure and compare the mass and volume of solids and liquids.
  • SC.3.P.8.3 Compare materials and objects according to properties such as size, shape, color, texture, and hardness.
