States of Matter Books
When it comes to books, there are a ton of books that are great for instructional purposes. But I always try to find books for my classroom library that will be interesting enough for students to pick up on their own and read about science topics. So here are my top 3 picks!
1. What is the World Made Of: All About Solids, Liquids and Gases
This book gives everyday examples of each state and even includes some simple activities for your students to explore the 3 states of matter!
2. Wile E. Coyote Experiments with States of Matter
Wile E. Coyote uses the states of matter to try and catch the Road Runner!
3. The Solid Truth About State of Matter with Max Axiom, Super Scientist
This books is in a graphic novel format and a huge hit with my students!
States of Matter Videos
1. States of Matter for Kids
This is a great explainer video with a little humor!
2. What's Matter?
I'm a big fan of the Crash Course YouTube channel! They are created more recently and include little snippets of pop culture which definitely appeal to kids!
3. I Wonder...Solid, Liquid, or Gas
This video is set up as a game show and a great way to review the concepts you've taught! I like showing this video when we are review for our test!
