Solids, Liquids, and Gases…Teach the Forms of Matter With Teach Starter!

Are you on the hunt for engaging and ready-made lesson plans for teaching your students about the three forms of matter? If so, you’re in the right place! We’ve put together a massive collection of brand-new resources that are ready and waiting for you to grab and implement in the classroom today. To get you started, we’ve put together the perfect teaching slide deck for introducing your students to solids, liquids, and gases.

Solids, Liquids, and Gases PowerPoint Presentation

Use this teaching presentation when exploring states of matter with your students. The presentation also explores how matter can change states by adding and removing heat.

Some of the key concepts addressed in this presentation include:

definitions and examples of each state of matter (solid, liquid, gas)
an explanation of how temperature changes can occur
explanations of how each change of state occurs
animated examples of various changes of state.

The presentation also includes links to a range of additional teaching resources that can reinforce the students’ learning.

Download, Project, and Teach!

This resource is available as an editable Google Slides resource file. To get your copy, click the download button to download your slide deck. From there, all you have to do is project and start teaching!

This resource was created by Kaylyn Chupp, a teacher in Florida and Teach Starter collaborator.
