This unit introduces Grade 2 students to real-world examples and fundamental concepts of properties of matter, which will be explored in greater depth in later grades. Students will learn about observable properties of matter, including the basic states of matter; discover patterns and make predictions based on properties of matter; and explore how heating and cooling can change matter.
Students explore concepts that include the following:
- Different forms of matter exist and can be solid, liquid, or gas depending on the temperature.
- Matter can be described and classified by its observable and measurable properties.
- Different properties of matter are suited to different purposes.
- A variety of objects can be built up from a small set of pieces.
- Heating and cooling a substance may cause an observable change that may or may not be reversible.
This activity-centered approach requires, at times, that schools collect or purchase materials and equipment that will be needed to complete activities. Click here to see a complete materials supply list for Properties of Matter..
