Elements DESCRIPTION
Narrative Understanding the various states of matter is one of the key
concepts children need for exploring the three states of matter.
These activities will help them identify the solids, liquids, and
gases. But first, give them an explanation of the three states of
matter by giving them an anchor chart to have references as they
learn the concepts and complete states of matter activities. The
activities are first, sort and match states of matter. Let the pupils
grab the free printable cards at the link, or cut pictures out of
magazines. Then have the pupils sort them by states of matter.
The second activity, make a representation of the atoms in each
state of matter. Each activity will be graded according to the
teacher’s criteria.

Goal The pupils should be able to classify and explain what are the three
states of matter through activities.

Role A facilitator (Teacher)

Audience Teacher

Situation As a teacher, you handle science subjects in grade three

elementary pupils. As stated in the curriculum guide for Science
Elementary, learners should be able to classify things as solid,
liquid, or gas, so you make activities that are engaging for the
pupils to learn about matter in the first period.

Product/Performance The class will be divided into four groups and the materials
mentioned below will be provided by the teacher. Each group will
receive the provided materials.

The first activity is to sort and match the pictures if it is solid,

liquid, or gas. The printable picture should be apparent and big
enough for the pupils to see and must be attached to a whole-
sized illustration board.

The second activity is to make a representation of the atoms using

scratching the paper into smaller pieces and then attaching the
small scratched paper with glue to the one-half-sized illustration
provided by the teacher.

The
Standards
criteria for the first activity are correctly matching the printed
pictures according to the states of matter. Whoever group finishes
will have the highest score and the slowest will get the lowest
score.

The criteria for the second activity correctly represent the atoms of
solid, liquid, and gas, neatness, and organization of their
presentation.
