A scientist from the planet Zunal has just landed on Earth! He has not discovered matter on his planet.There is matter all around you. Everything on Earth is made of matter as a solid, liquid, or gas. You and your team of scientists will help him understand the properties of the three states of matter. You will learn how matter can be changed and grouped. You will research solids, liquids and gas to help him learn about our world.Click here to listen to this song about matter

Your team of scientists will:
Team member 1: Reader: You will read any information on the websites to your team members
Team member 2: Recorder: You will write any information your team needs to complete the tasks
Team member 3: Techie: You will control the computer during tasks
1. Go to this website to learn about the properties of solid, liquid and gas. The Techie will use the computer. The Reader will read the information on the website to the team members, and the Recorder write the information for the different states of matter. Get the handout: Matter Chart from your teacher to record your results.

2. Go to these websites to do activities with matter. You will sort matter and see interactions. Each team member does each activity. http://www.fossweb.com/modulesK-2/SolidsandLiquids/activities/changeit.htmlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/scienceclips/ages/8_9/solid_liquids.shtml

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/science/activities/gases.shtml
3. Step 5: Look around your classroom and home to identify examples of matter. The Reader will look for solids. The Recorder will look for liquids, and the Techie will find gasses. Record your information in your science notebook.
4. You will each create a Wordle for your state of matter. http://www.wordle.net/
You will be graded on this webquest - Check out the Grading Rubric to make sure you have completed everything to the best of your ability

Your team of scientists will:
- Learn new vocabulary for the properties of solids, liquids and gas
- Research the different states of matter and their properties
- Learn how the different states of matter interact
- Sort matter into categories based on their properties
- Fill in the blanks for an ineractive quiz
Make a concept map on either solid, liquid, or gas
