I’m always looking for age-appropriate resources that I can use over and over in our lessons and activities.

This Comprehensive Set of States of Matter Vocabulary Cards Contains:

54 Labelled Solid, Liquid and Gas Cards: I’ve designed them so you can easily cut off the labels if you want a set of just pictures. You have the option of large or small cards as well. The full set of 54 cards contains 18 pictures of solids, 18 liquid pictures and 18 images representing gases. They all come in 2 sizes so you can choose the size to best fit your teaching needs.

6 Sorting mats: There are 2 different full-colour styles of the sorting mats. They will help your students remember the sorting categories.

Ink-saving Sorting Mat Labels: Don’t want to print out the full-colour sorting mats? Use these labels to make your own set of ink-friendly sorting mats. Just print the single page with the solid, liquid, gas blackline labels. Glue each label to the top of a plain coloured card, and you’ll have instant category sorting mats.

A Sorting Information Poster in 2 sizes: This poster defines sorting as grouping objects based on their attributes. Use it to inform parents and other educators, to illustrate your learning intentions and as a visual reminder for students learning how to sort.

3 Solid, Liquid and Gas Information posters: Also in 2 sizes, these posters define solids as holding their own shape and having a fixed volume, liquids as spreading out to fill a container and not having a fixed volume and gases as not having a fixed shape or volume.

2 Sorting Learning Prompt Posters: These printable prompts make setting up a states of matter sorting activity super easy.

2 Writing Learning Prompt Posters: The printable solid, liquid and gas picture cards make the perfect writing stimulus for young students. Set up an engaging Writing Center using the printable writing prompt posters included in your download.

3 Solid, Liquid, Gas Learning Prompt Posters: These states of matter prompts will make a great addition to your investigation areas and will spark discussions about solids, liquids and gases.

2 Student Recording Sheets for recording sorts: Including a way for children to record their sorting will give you valuable evidence of learning. Use this information to inform your planning. (It comes in handy as an assessment piece too!) I’ve included 2 sizes of these sheets for you to choose from.

2 Styles of Writing Paper in 5 Formats: Use the included states of matter-themed writing papers to build your students' literacy skills. They can use the labelled solid, liquid and gas cards to prompt writing ideas for creative writing stories or for factual writing tasks about chemistry and states of matter.

Teacher Assessment Recording Sheet: I like to keep track of my students' progress. This recording sheet makes it easy. There’s a place to enter a sorting score and a space for short observational notes.

Task Card Box Label and Document Wallet Label: If you keep your resources organised you are much more likely to use them. That’s why I included these storage labels. Ensure your resources are always at hand and organised. The solid, liquid and gas picture cards can be kept in a task card box but if you want to keep all the printables together, I suggest storing them all in a document wallet. That’s what I do. I put the picture cards inside a clip-lock bag and store it with all the other printables in a clear document wallet.

States of Matter Notes: There are also 6 pages of states of matter teaching notes to give you some basic information on the properties of matter. Use these notes to support your lessons and get ideas for extension activities.
