Chemistry Lessons | States of Matter | Paper and Digital

Learn about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases with these hands-on experiments and lessons. The activities require very little prep, except for collecting things like ice cubes, liquids, clear containers, and other household items, but they will keep your students engaged and learning for hours.

This resource is included in our Grade 5 Alberta Science Bundle. This resource is part of our Chemistry Bundle.

This hands-on resource includes:

• five complete lesson plans for Properties of Matter, Solids, Liquids, Gases, and Changing States of Matter with opportunities to differentiate for your students.
• chemistry experiments for kids.
• student pages and handouts.
• student templates.
• answer keys.
• photographs of student examples.
• a list of recommended materials.

• a digital version of all the student pages. This version has loose text which can be read by assistive technology.
