We have concluded our work with matter. Students have seen what physical properties make up matter around them. Students are able to identify what a solid, liquid and gas are. Energy (heat) is needed to make a phase change occur. Heat will speed up solid molecules to change it's form to a liquid. Heating a liquid would change it to a gas. If we take heat away from a gas it will phase change to a liquid. Heat taken away from a liquid will make it a solid. We will take this knowledge and complete a Matter Slide Show and an interesting experiment during the week of Read Across America!
