This Phases of Matter Interactive Book has students work through figuring out what a solid, liquid, and gas is and what is needed for a phase change! Students are prompted to use past knowledge to learn form their own definitions of solid, liquid, and gasses! Then, they can use the short reading to learn about the properties of each phase! At the end, students can create the template to make their very own comic about the phases of matter!
