States of MatterNon-Linear PowerPoint

By: Rebecca Stalter

Introduction:Subject – Sixth Grade ScienceTitle of Lesson - States of MatterObjective - To teach students how to identify the

different states of matter.Objective 1: Students should be able to identify the 3

different states of matterObjective 2: Students should be able to distinguish

between the 3 different states of matter.Objective 3: Students should be able to list a physical

property of each state of matter.Objective 4: Students should be able to explain and

draw the difference of the space between particles in the 3 different states of matter.

Objective 5: Students will be able to list examples of each state of matter in our daily life.

Procedures – Students will move in groups to 6 stations guessing what state of matter the materials at that station are. Students will regroup as a whole. We will discuss our observations in groups and come to conclusions about each state of matter while going through the PowerPoint.

Evaluation  - The QuizMaterials – Pen, paper, PowerPoint, 2 object

examples of gas, 2 of liquid, 2 of solid.

StandardsPhysical SciencesBenchmark A: Relate uses, properties and chemical processes to

the behavior and/or arrangement of the small particles that compose matter.

Nature of Matter 3. Describe that in a physical change the chemical properties of a

substance remain unchanged.4. Describe that chemical and physical changes occur all around

us.Scientific InquiryBenchmark C: Give examples of how thinking scientifically is

helpful in daily life.Science and Society4. Identify ways scientific thinking is helpful in a variety of

everyday settings.

What is matter?Matter is defined as

anything that has mass and takes up space.

Matter can take the form of a solid, a liquid or a gas.

What is matter made of?All matter is full of tiny little particles called atoms.

The way the atoms are packed and how the atoms move together determine which state the object is, solid liquid or gas.

Properties of a SolidSolids have a fixed

volume and shape.Solids are not easily

compactable.Particles are tightly

packed with little room to move.

Examples of Solids:Crayons, Slides, Doors, Sponges

Can you think of some examples?

Properties of a LiquidLiquids assume the

shape of their container.Liquids have a fixed

volume.Liquids are not easily

compressible.Particles are farther

apart with some room to slip and slide past each other.

Examples of Liquids,Water, hand soap.

Can you think of some examples?

Properties of a GasGases assume the shape

and volume of their container.

Gases are easily compressible.

Particles are far apart and fast moving.

An example of a gas is helium in a balloon. Can you think of any examples of a gas?

Matter is all around us…

Here is a song to help us remember our states of matter.

Use Your Brain!Answer these questions in order

Question 1

Question 2

Question 3

Question 1What is the definition of matter?

Anything you can see.

Any that has mass and takes up space.

Anything that has weight.

Question 2Which state of matter has loosely packed

particles that move fast and freely past each other?

Solid

Gas

Liquid

Question 3Which of these are the physical

properties of a liquid?No definite shape or volume,

compressible, particles loosely packed.

Definite shape and volume, not compressible, particles tightly packed.

Definite volume, no definite shape, not compressible, particles are packed together with some room to move.

Great Job!!

The correct definition for matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Question 2

Try AgainPlease review the following

information and try Question 1 again.

Great Job!! Gases have loosely packed particles that are

free to move and slide past each other.

Liquids are particles are packed tighter together with some room to move but not much.

Solids are tightly packed with no room to move past each other.

Question 3

Try AgainPlease review the following information and try

Question 2 again.

Great Job!! A liquid has a definite volume, no definite

shape, not compressible, particles are packed together with some room to move.

A gas has no definite shape or volume, compressible, particles loosely packed.

A solid has a definite shape and volume, not compressible, particles tightly packed.
