1. Go to the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C33WdI64FiY

Watch the video.
Pause the video at 35 seconds and write 2 examples of a solid
Continue playing the video, and pause again at 1:15. Write 2 examples of a liquid
Continue the video and pause it once more at 2:00. Write 2 examples of a gas.
2. Next, go to this link http://sciencewithme.com/learn-about-matter/
Scroll down to the middle of the page and look at the States of Matter diagram.
Fill in the boxes on your worksheet to look like the illustration you see. Answer the
questions about the three states of water and heat.
3. After this is done, go to this link http://www.lovemyscience.com/facts-water.html
Scroll to the part of the page that says ~Water Takes on 3 Forms
Draw one example of water as a liquid, one example of water as a solid and one example
of water as a gas.
Now, scroll to the top of the page and click on the light blue Glossary button.
Find these words on the page (Condensation, evaporation, freeze)
Match the terms and definitions on your worksheet using the words and definitions you
see.
4. Now, time for a game to put it all together! Go to
http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/gamesactivities/statematerials.html
Click OK and follow the directions in the blue and white box at the top of the game
square.
In the game you will be experimenting with water and heat to turn the water into a solid,
liquid and gas.
Click the blue arrows on the right side of the blue and white box at the top of the game
square. These will get you to the next question! Be sure to notice the temperature at each
form of the water.
When the steam escapes the container, the game is complete! You have won!
Answer the final question on your worksheet to show what you learned!
