Recognize that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their
container.
Subject Area: Science
Grade: 2
Body of Knowledge: Physical Science
Big Idea: Properties of Matter - A. All objects and substances in the world are made of matter.
Matter has two fundamental properties: matter takes up space and matter has mass.
B. Objects and substances can be classified by their physical and chemical properties.
Mass is the amount of matter (or "stuff") in an object. Weight, on the other hand, is the measure
of force of attraction (gravitational force) between an object and Earth.
The concepts of mass and weight are complicated and potentially confusing to elementary
students. Hence, the more familiar term of "weight" is recommended for use to stand for both
mass and weight in grades K-5. By grades 6-8, students are expected to understand the
distinction between mass and weight, and use them appropriately.
Clarification for grades K-2: The use of the more familiar term ‘weight’ instead of the term
“mass” is recommended for grades K-2.
Clarification for grades 3-5: In grade 3, introduce the term mass as compared to the term weight.
In grade 4, investigate the concept of weight versus mass of objects. In grade 5, discuss why
mass (not weight) is used to compare properties of solids, liquids and gases.

matter for children, a shorter exploration of solids is included as
the hands-on component to accompany the PowerPoint that
discusses all states of matter.
In this 2-3 part session, students will manipulate printable
objects and sort them into the three states of matter-solid, liquid

and gas. They will also participate in a hands-on group
investigation and record their observations into their Science
Notebooks. A quiz on the content is also provided.
This engaging lesson allows students to explore the importance
of using text features to learn and locate information all while

text features as clues to figure out the title of The Mystery
Book.
This resource features a lesson plan for comparing the

properties of Hershey's chocolate kisses in different states: solid
and liquid.
Students are given a variety of materials and asked to identify
each material as a solid, liquid or gas. They use their five senses

Solid or Liquid?
Description
The students will make their own predictions and conclusions
on whether Oobleck is a solid or liquid by using focus
observations, conducting focus explorations, raising questions,
clarifying questions, and making conclusions about Oobleck.
Students investigate the properties of solids and liquids.
In this chemistry lesson students will investigate if certain
materials are solids or liquids. Students are expected to make
predictions, record observations, draw conclusions, and
formulate questions for further investigation.
As a result of this activity, students will be able to describe the

Virtual Manipulative
Name
Matter
Solids and Liquids
Description
This resource allows students to virtually manipulate objects
into different states of matter.
This simulation allows students to investigate differences
between solids and liquids. Students will explore changes in the
state of matter when different substances are heated and cooled.
Students will observe that solids and liquids have different
properties. Students will also have access to a multiple choice
quiz on the material. Additionally this resource requires students
to practice converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Module
Description
The Solids and Liquids Module provides experiences that
heighten students' awareness of the physical world. Matter with
which we interact exists in three fundamental states: solid,
liquid, and gas. In this module first and second graders have
introductory experiences with two of these states of matter,
solid and liquid.
