Materials ● Colored jerseys ● Cones ● Timer Procedure 1. Students will be assigned an animal, either minnow, trout, or shark. 2. They will be given a colored jersey that is associated with the animal. 3. There will be 2 sharks, 10 trout, and the rest as minnows. 4. They will be allowed 5 minutes to try and eat as many minnows or trout as they can. 5. Tagged players will leave the playing field designated by the cones. 6. Teachers will then ask what they think the activity replicated. Rules ● Minnows must avoid being eaten(tagged) by the trout. ● Trouts must try to eat minnows and avoid sharks which will eat them. ● Sharks can eat both minnows and trot. ● Tagged players must exit the playing field designated by the cones.

Compare and contrast. Solid: Fill a paper cup with water. Mark the level of the water with a magic marker. Place in the freezer overnight. Tear paper off of the ice. Have students watch ice as the day goes by and note their findings. Ice is a solid. It is still water, just in a different state. Liquid: As the ice melts above explain to students that it is still water. It went from liquid in a cup to a hard shape, taking the shape of the cup. After all the ice melts, pour water back into the cup. Discuss why there is not as much water now, due to some evaporation. Gas: Can I blow up a balloon without using my mouth? Place 3/4 cup of white vinegar into an empty plastic bottle (small water bottle works fine). Spoon 2 teaspoons of baking soda into a balloon. Stretch the balloon over the mouth of the bottle keeping the balloon to the side of the bottle. Pull the balloon up straight over the bottle, allowing the baking soda to enter into the vinegar. Step back and watch as the balloon inflates with carbon dioxide. (Discuss that this is a gas that is made by combining the baking soda and vinegar.) Vocabulary for States of Matter 63. gas-state of matter that has no volume or shape 64. solid-a state of matter characterized by particles arranged such that their shape and volume are relatively stable 65. liquid-flowing freely but of constant volume such as water and oil. 66. evaporation-when a liquid becomes a gas 67. condensation-when a gas becomes a liquid 68. transpiration-process where moisture on leaves of plants changes to vapor 69. precipitation-rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground. 70. melting-make or become liquefied by heat 71. boiling-the action of bringing a liquid to the temperature at which it bubbles and turns to vapor. 72. freezing -liquid turns into solid(ice) Reading with Questions and Answers “Why Does Matter Matter?” by Kelly Hathway www.superteacherworksheets.com Section Quiz State of the Matter Quiz 1.
