Milliken science workbook on states of matter
Table of contents listing topics from Matter and The Atom to Magic Matter, plus background material and answers
Use to plan lesson order and find the answer pages
Matter: students feel their breath, saliva and hair, then name each as a solid, liquid or gas and give their own examples
Hands-on intro to what counts as matter
The Atom: reading on atom size with a diagram of nucleus, proton, neutron and electron, then four recall questions
Reading and recall on atomic structure
Atom diagram labeling: students name four parts of an atom, then view hydrogen (1 electron) and uranium (92 electrons)
Check that students can identify atom parts unaided
Molecules: oxygen and water molecule models, a chalk-crushing magnifier activity, four blanks and a compound research task
Lab activity with chalk plus reference-book research
Molecules in three states of matter: students label three particle drawings as a solid, liquid or gas by how molecules move
Visual check on particle motion in each state
Review crossword: students solve 9 across and 6 down clues on matter, atoms, molecules, compounds and states of matter
Vocabulary review after the atom and molecule lessons
Matter and physical properties: students describe chalk and two other solids by color, texture, hardness, odor and luster
Observation chart using the five senses
Solids and physical properties: students write a word describing texture, hardness, luster, odor or color for 11 materials
Practice choosing precise describing words

About This Product

Discover! Solids, Liquids, and Gases

An educational resource designed for 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade science students that focuses on the fundamental concepts of chemistry - matter, atoms, molecules - as well as the physical properties of matter and how it transitions between solid, liquid and gaseous states.

Classroom Application

Teachers can leverage this tool to provide in-depth background knowledge while facilitating engaging classroom discussions around these key principles. The guide includes:

  • A host of suggested activities designed to actively involve students in their learning process. These can be incorporated into whole group lessons or utilized in small study groups to promote interactive discovery sessions.
  • Potential use for homework assignments or individual student study outside of classroom instruction time.

Digital Format Advantage

The resource is provided in PDF format making it readily available for printing or directly accessible using a variety of digital devices.

Inclusive Learning Features

    The guide comes equipped with:
  1. Sets of discussion questions intended to challenge critical thinking skills while reinforcing elemental concepts from each lesson.
  2. Included answers are convenient for educators' grading needs as well as independent verification by students studying at home without teacher involvement.
  3. Beyond just teaching the basics about solids liquids and gases – cornerstones in Chemistry; this versatile teaching aid ensures learners develop valuable scientific knowledge pivotal towards studies in subsequent grades. It will undoubtedly serve as a staple resource helping shape student perspectives around Chemistry's exciting world.

    Keep these matter notes as a reference during review.
