Changing states of matter worksheets for Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5. Use these no-prep cut-and-paste science activities to teach heating and cooling.
What is this?
This resource helps students explore how matter changes when heat is added or removed. Students work with water as it changes between ice, liquid water and steam, and also practise identifying solids, liquids and gases using simple particle models.
What is included?
2 changing states of matter cut-and-paste worksheets
2 matching cut-out pages
2 answer sheets
Black-and-white pages for easy printing
Activities focused on heating and cooling
Visual support for solids, liquids and gases
What will students learn?
How heat can change a solid into a liquid
How heat can change a liquid into a gas
How removing heat can change a gas into a liquid
How removing heat can change a liquid into a solid
How to identify solids, liquids and gases
How to describe changes of state using simple science language
How does this align with the Australian Curriculum?
This resource is best aligned to Australian Curriculum Version 9 Year 5 Chemical Sciences, especially AC9S5U04, which focuses on the observable properties of solids, liquids and gases and how changes of state can be explained through particle models. It can also be used as support, revision or extension when introducing states of matter concepts in Years 3 and 4.
