What are states of matter? Find out in this NGSS-aligned 5th-grade science investigation!
With a partner or small group, students create a model to show their understanding of solids, liquids, and gases. They use the materials provided to create a model to explain these states of matter.
This STEM challenge aligns with 5th-grade NGSS Physical Science Standards but can be used in 3rd grade - 5th grade.
Amazing resource for STEM club, STEM teachers, elementary librarians, parents who love hands-on learning, and elementary teachers who want to create a hands-on educational environment in their classroom!
