Changes in States of Matter Poster Project Science Research Activity

Use this science poster project with your upper elementary or middle school science students to learn about or reinforce the ideas of changes in states of matter, also called phase changes. Students choose one of the changes in states of matter (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, or sublimation). In their poster the students will need to include the definition of their change in state, examples, pictures, and a description of the particle movement.

What's included:

• Detailed directions and ideas for how to use this research activity in your classroom
• Thorough rubrics for detailed and consistent grading
• Poster requirements for students to reference
• Grading Sheets for a quick grading option or for peer review
• Student checklists to guide students in their project construction
• An optional blank poster template for project uniformity or for modification purposes
• Example posters to help students understand expectations
