This powerpoint will guide your students to explore the 3 states of matter.
Go through the slides with your students.
When you get to the final slide students are instructed to rule up their workbooks into three sections with a label for each third - solid, liquid and gas.
Prior to the lesson you will have set up the tables with a variety of materials for students to investigate.
You will require the following samples -

• small jar of gravel,
• small jar of water,
• small jar of oil,
• an empty labelled ‘air’,
• an inflated balloon,
• bar of soap,
• small piece of plasticine,
• wood,
• rock,
• piece of metal,
• small jar of dishwashing liquid,
• photo of smoke,
• photo of a hot air balloon.
  Students will investigate the materials and sort them into the table in their workbooks. They can write or draw each example.
