Teaching the States of Matter

Teaching the States of Matter

Knowing the three states of matter solid, liquid, and gas is an essential concept that all students need to know.

While this concept may seem intuitive to an adult, this idea is significant for learners given the relationship that the three states of matter have to one another and significant role that classification has in teaching.

A fun introduction to teaching this topic is through the Wild E. Coyote science books.  Their book about matter is called  Splat!: Wile E. Coyote Experiments with States of Matter (Wile E. Coyote, Physical Science Genius). Other books for the elementary level include What Is the World Made Of?: All About Solids, Liquids, and Gases (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2).
