States and Properties of MATTER

question:

Look closely at these images of phenomena. What do you notice? What do you wonder? What questions do you have?

Discover the cause of the phenomenon by obtaining information from informational text, videos and experiments. Explore and explain the effect on properties of matter as it is heated, cooled, or combined.

ENGAGE:

Spend time looking closely at this section and engaging with each activity. Try to complete this section with an adult.

Matter:

is made of particles that are too small to be seen
has properties
