Lesson Overview
Students will take notes and participate in classroom discussion to better their understanding of the definitions and make up of the different states of matter. They will use their knowledge to investigate ways to measure the different states of matter. Then, students will represent their knowledge through creating a poster board that displays what they have learned about matter.
Essential Question
