Unit Overview

This website was developed as a second grade teaching tool to increase students’ sense and meaning of the States of Matter. It is structured so that each student can reference the contents to get all information needed to complete the unit with teacher guidance.

This website integrates technology into our “Structure and Properties of Matter” Unit as a self-contained web based module. The work covered will encompass mini project based lessons and activities.

In this web-based unit, Structure and Properties of Matter, students will be able to answer the questions, "How are materials similar and different from one another?" and "How do the properties of materials relate to their use?"

By navigating through this site, students will define matter, classify matter based on their properties, explain the properties of solids, liquids, and gases with examples, analyze data obtained from testing and experimenting with different materials, make observations and record your learning.

Both the teacher and student will find resources needed throughout this unit, to assist in the learning.
