Changing States of Matter

See Lesson Ideas for this topic

Remind your children that everything is made of matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and it is made up of tiny particles. Matter can come in different states, or forms, such as solids, liquids, and gases. Different types of energy, including heat, can change matter. Matter can change states through freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation. We recommend reviewing the different kinds of matter by screening our Solids, Liquids, and Gases movie.
