Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Structure of Matter. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

In a solid, particles of matter are closely spaced.

The three common states of matter on Earth are: solid, liquid, and gas.

Even though the particles of matter are too small to be seen, they still exist and can be detected by other means.

The air in the world around us is made from matter particles too small to be seen that are moving freely around in space.

In a gas, the particles of matter can move freely.

In a liquid, the particles of matter are loosely joined together.

Solids have a definite shape and volume.(ES)

Matter can be divided into tiny particles that are too small to be seen.

Liquids have a definite volume.

Gases do not have a definite volume.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are the states of matter? What is the difference between a liquid and a gas?

After the Game

What are some characteristics of each of the states of matter? What happened to the water when you increased the temperature? What happened to the water when you decreased the temperature? In which state of matter could the particles move the least freely and in which state could the particles move the most freely?
