Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe materials matching different states of matter and templates to explain how and why certain materials can be classified as either solid or liquid materials using illustrations and sentences.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explain how they can identify whether a material is a solid or liquid based on their material properties.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to explore, test and explain how a range of different materials can change their states between solids, liquids and gases by conducting a series of fair tests. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
