Review vocabulary related to matter with a printable illustrated States of Matter Word Wall.
Solid? Liquid? Gas? Those Are Easy…But What About Those Other Vocabulary Words
If you’ve taught the states of matter before, you probably already know that students are pretty good at figuring out the differences between solids, liquids, and gases. Those terms come easily. However, there are so many more upper-level academic vocabulary words related to the topic of matter. These are the words that trip them up so often, especially when working with standardized tests. This year, Teach Starter wants to help you build your students’ Science Vocabulary banks with new printable vocabulary resources for your Science topics.

This printable (and editable) word wall features 32 States of matter vocabulary word and picture cards. Each word wall card features fun colours, bright images and easy-to-read text, making it accessible to students sitting at varying distances from the display.

Hi, When I download this resource, there are no vocab words on the cards?
Hello! Thanks for bringing this to our attention! A new file has been uploaded and you should be able to view the cards now. Have a great day! :)
Hi, I would like to download this but with no words (blank). I have clicked customise which takes me to the studio and the document then changes to '3 words per page' rather than 12. I have looked to see if I can create this myself through the studio but I can't find this background available. Thanks
Hi Miss Bradbury, Thank you for your comment. This resource is word wall cards, so it is actually 3 per page. The 12 to a page that you see is just for the thumb nail. I can see how that would be misleading. I will change the thumbnail to show the resource as 3 to a page. Kind regards Jill
