My students loved the many activities that are found in this resource. The lessons are engaging and helped to explain the key concepts and vocabulary word in a fun way. The matter slides and notes were helpful in introducing the unit to the students. The prep test task cards helped to provide a great review of all concepts in a rigorous way.

This physical properties of matter pack gave my students multiple ways to explore and practice key science concepts through labs, task cards, stations, and sorting activities. It kept them actively involved and made abstract ideas more concrete. A strong resource for building science understanding in an interactive way!
