Identify states of matter
Third graders identify the three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—describing how the arrangement and movement of particles differ in each state within the Physical Science Matter and Materials unit. Teachers can use this worksheet to check comprehension after a lesson on states of matter, or as a vocabulary-consolidation activity that prepares students for exploring how matter changes state. Building a clear understanding of the three states is foundational for all physical science study.
