What is Matter? Mini Book

This year we added a new theme to our curriculum:  States of Matter.  Scrambling for resources on Pinterest and Teachers Pay Teacher will get you by...but after you do the unit the first time through, you realize creating your own materials to meet your teaching style and what you want for your classroom is the route you need to follow. It just takes time. We've been done with the States of Matter unit for a month or more and I finally ended up creating this.  I used my States of Matter Doodles clip art set as well as Educlips Matter clip art set to create this mini book.

You can find this HERE at my TPT store.


Here is the text:

Matter is all around us.
Everything on Earth is made of matter.
Matter can be a solid, liquid, or a gas.
A solid has its very own shape.
The particles are close together.
A liquid takes the shape of what it is in.
The tiny particles are spread out.
A gas takes the shape of what it is in and moves freely.

Water is a solid when it is frozen.
Water is a liquid when it is at the right temperature.
When water is heated, it turns into water vapor (gas). This is evaporation.
When water vapor gets cold it turns back to water. This is condensation.
The water we have on Earth keeps going around and around.
This is called the Water Cycle.
