The Three States of Matter Web Site Planning Document Purpose: The purpose of this site is to provide students

with information about the three states of matter. Objectives: After viewing the web site, the students will be able to state the three states of matter and describe there properties. Students must have an understanding of the three states of matter and there properties to be able to proceed to the next lesson on changes that occur in objects. State Standards S2P1 Description: S2P1 Students will investigate the properties of matter and changes that occur in objects. Elements: a. Identify the three common states of matter as solid, liquid, or gas. Audience: The audience for this site will be a 2nd grade science class who are learning about the three states of matter and there properties. The audience will consist of 15-17 regular education students and six special education students. Content: What is matter? All things are made of matter. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. What is a property? Properties describe matter, its size, shape, color, how it feels or sounds. What are the three states of matter? Solid, liquid and gas. What are solids? A solid is a form of matter. A solid is the only form of matter that has its own shape. The shape of a solid will not change unless you cut it, bend it, break it, or change it in another way. Example: You can place a block in glass, but it is still a block. What are the properties of a solid? A solid can be hard or soft, rough or smooth; it can be different sizes, shapes and color. How can you measure a solid? A solids mass can be measured using a balance or scale. You can measure how long, high or wide a solid is by using a ruler, a meterstick, or a yardstick. Examples of solids: block, rock, ball, bat, Earth, banana What are liquids? Liquids are a form of matter. A liquid does not have its own shape. It takes the shape of its container. When you pour milk in your cereal, it takes the shape of the bowl. What are the properties of a liquid? You can see and feel a liquid. Another property of a liquid is its thickness. How can you measure a liquid? Volume is the amount of space a liquid takes up. You can use a measuring cup to measure the volume of liquid. Milliliters and ounces are units used to measure volume. Examples of liquids: milk, syrup, orange juice, coke, honey

What are gases? Gases are a form of matter. Gas takes up space and has mass. A gas is the only form of matter that always fills all the space of its container. A gas does not have its own shape. It spreads out to take the shape of the container it is in. Example: When you blow up a balloon, gases spread out inside the balloon and the gases take the shape of the balloon. How can you measure gases? You can use a balance to measure the mass of a gas in a container. Examples of Gases: balloon, fizz from a drink, bubbles, hot air balloon
