PROPERTIES AND CHANGES OF MATTER



     Why do liquids, gases and solids “matter”?  Each state of matter plays an important role in our world.  Our unit on Properties and Changes of Matter is quickly coming to an end.  We have discovered the physical properties of different states of matter and we have also discovered how different states of matter can change.  For a quick review on our Science unit, visit Chem4kids  and Eduplace.  Our unit test will be next week therefore, make sure you understand all the concepts because it “matters”!
