Three States of Matter: Fun Experiment and Worksheet for Kids

Is your kid studying the three states of matter in school?  Are you searching for fun state of matter worksheet and activities? Here’s a simple experiment you can do at home and I have also included a worksheet to reinforce the topic.


The Fun Way of Exploring the States of Matter: The Jello Project

Materials:
gelatin powder
water
fun-shaped molders

1. Ask your kid to look closely at the gelatin powder. Explain to him that that is in solid form. Have him touch the powder.

2. Pour hot water onto the powder. When the powder mixes with hot water and becomes liquid, start explaining the properties of liquid.

3. Have your child observe the steam coming off from the hot water. Tell him that that is in  “gas” state. Tell him the properties of gas.

4. Lastly, pour the mixture into your fun-shaped molders and then put them in your refrigerator. After a few hours, take your molders out of the fridge and start explaining the properties of solid. 

Classifying Matter

Here are the important properties to discuss to your child. I have already listed these properties in an article I have written for BrightHub which you can find here.

1. Solid
  • It has mass.
  • It has a definite volume.
  • It has definite space.
  • It cannot be compressed.
2. Liquid
  • It has mass.
  • It has a definite volume.
  • It has no fixed/definite shape.
  • It cannot be compressed.
3. Gas
  • It has mass.
  • It has no definite volume.
  • It has no definite shape.
