‘Toss’ a New Matter Game Into Your 3rd-5th Grade Matter Lesson Plans!

Help your students explore the world of matter and its physical properties with an interactive, physical approach that gets them moving while using scientific vocabulary. This engaging resource is designed to support your teaching of matter and its properties by focusing on how to describe the properties of everyday objects in a fun, hands-on way.

Observing Matter Science Game – Bean Bag Toss

This activity brings learning to life by combining active movement with scientific observation. To play, students toss bean bags to select a random object and property of matter (color, state, shape, texture, size, and temperature). Using their knowledge of the properties of matter, students will race to identify a descriptive word that matches both the object and property chosen by their throws.

This Observing Matter Science Game includes:

• Detailed Instructions with Whole-Class Gameplay Setup Diagram
• Object Cards
• Matter Property Cards
