States of matter - answers
Learners make their own diagram by cutting and sticking the component parts including key vocabulary: freezing, melting, boiling and condensing. They learn the difference between solids, liquids and gases and complete a number of sentences describing them.
Learners begin the tasks by following a series of simple written instructions to complete a labelled diagram illustrating changing states of matter. There are four further activities aimed at expanding and consolidating their knowledge as well as a table to complete where they translate key words into their first language. Learners match phrases to diagrams, complete sentences using the words ‘solids’, ‘liquids’ and ‘gases’, write sentences using a substitution table and unscramble sentences about change of state. Answers are supplied on a PowerPoint presentation. Worksheets are in colour, with a black-and-white version provided if colour printing is not available.
