This resource fosters critical thinking, classification skills, and science vocabulary, making it an essential tool for engaging science lessons.

What’s Included:
20 Picture Cards: Engaging, realistic visuals of states of matter and their processes (e.g., “A melting ice cream cone”).
20 Term Cards: Scientific terms such as “Condensation,” “Gas,” or “Melting.”
20 Description Cards: Clear explanations of states and processes (e.g., “When heat turns a solid into a liquid”).
Blank Cards: Allow students to create their own sets, encouraging creativity and exploration.
Formats:
PDF and high-quality PNG files for easy printing or digital use.

How It Works:
Students will match cards into sets of three, connecting:
Picture Card: A visually engaging representation of a state or process.
Term Card: The scientific term for the state or process.
Description Card: A concise explanation of the state or process.
Extension Activity:
Use the blank cards to let students explore related topics or create unique sets about additional states or processes, fostering deeper understanding and creativity.

Why Teachers Love It:
Interactive & Versatile: Perfect for science centers, group rotations, or independent practice.
Customizable: Blank cards allow for differentiation and student-driven learning.
Standards-Aligned: Supports NGSS for physical science and states of matter concepts.
Durable & Reusable: Print, laminate, and use year after year!

With 60 pre-made cards (20 sets of 3) and blank cards for custom exploration, this resource sparks curiosity and strengthens understanding of states of matter and their transformations.

Whether used in small groups, centers, or whole-class lessons, this activity makes science engaging and unforgettable.

Best Wishes!
