Introduce your students to the classification of matter based on measurable, testable, and observable physical properties with an interactive teaching slide deck.
How Is Matter Classified?
Matter can be classified in many ways, including density, boiling point, and a variety of other chemical and physical properties. However, some of the more prevalent physical properties used to classify matter are mass, magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid, and gas), relative density (sinking and floating using water as a reference point), solubility in water, and ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electric energy. These are the properties most often looked at in primary-level science standards, but resources to teach these concepts are few and far between.
This year, we’re excited to help you liven up your science lessons and really teach those standards with brand-new teaching resources to guide your lessons and engage your students like never before, starting with a comprehensive teaching presentation!
Observing the Properties of Matter – Teaching Slides
This teaching slide deck is designed to explain the basic physical properties of matter in depth, making it the perfect presentation for your students. It incorporates excellent visuals and has built-in check-for-understanding slides, making it easy to see which students need extra support while keeping your students engaged throughout the presentation.
This resource introduces your students to observable physical properties of matter, including:
- Temperature
- Mass
- Magnetism
- Relative Density
- Physical State
