Properties of Matter Lessons

This is a MONEY-SAVING PROPERTIES OF MATTER LESSONS BUNDLE of all the properties of matter resources that I offer in my store. You’ll get notes, worksheets, and assessments for the properties of matter (mass, weight, volume) and density.

Properties of Matter Resources Included:

1. Properties of Matter Notes: Get a presentation on properties of matter (mass, weight, volume) in both PPT and Google Slides versions, plus a corresponding Cloze worksheet for students to complete as they view the presentation.
2. Water Displacement Drawings Worksheet: Students follow simple instructions to create two drawings that will demonstrate their understanding of how water displacement is used to determine volume.
3. Mass, Weight, and Gravity Graphic Organizer Worksheet: Students sort phrases that are associated with mass, weight, or gravity to demonstrate that they know the difference between these three related concepts.
4. Mass, Weight, and Volume Review Drawings Worksheet: This simple activity has students create drawings that review the properties of matter as well as the procedures and tools used to measure them.
5. Mass, Weight, Volume, and Density Worksheet: Students are given a phrase (such as a definition, a tool used to measure, etc.) and must state whether the phrase best fits mass, weight, volume, or density.
6. Taboo Test Review Game: Two versions are provided – one easier and one more challenging. This very quick but fun game for pairs reviews vocabulary words.
7. Mass and Weight Comparison Activity: ENGAGING! This simple and effective worksheet is one of those activities that really make the “light bulbs” turn on! After this activity, students should no longer confuse mass and weight.
8. Properties of Matter Quiz: This quiz covers mass, weight, volume, tools used to measure (triple beam balance, graduated cylinder, spring scale), and a simple application of the lxwxh formula. There are 9 multiple-choice questions and one short-answer question.
9. Properties of Matter Test: This is more than a “definition style” test! There are lots of simple diagrams to analyze, and the questions mimic how NGSS-based standardized exams generally ask about this topic. There are 31 multiple-choice questions and one short-answer question with a few parts. This test covers mass, weight, volume, and the tools used to measure them (triple beam balance, graduated cylinder, spring scale).

Density Resources Included:

1. Density Notes: Get a presentation on density in both PPT and Google Slides versions, plus a corresponding Cloze worksheet for students to complete as they view the presentation.
2. Introduction to Density Worksheet: Get students thinking about density on a conceptual level! This worksheet focuses on “stuff per space” versus the math involved. There are NO density math problems to solve.
3. Density as a Characteristic Property Worksheet: Give students different sample sizes (mass and volume) for each of 4 different pure substances. Students calculate the density of each sample. The worksheet leads them to see that even though the sample sizes are different, the density remains the same for each sample.
4. Density in Liquids Worksheet: Give students a written scenario that describes a mistake at a chemical plant. Students must use their knowledge of density to figure out how certain chemicals settle out in a mixture. They calculate density, predict the order of the layers, then color the layers.
5. Density Practice Problems Worksheet: This quick worksheet includes 9 straightforward density practice problems.
6. Density Review Worksheet: Reviews the topic of density as a whole.
7. Density Challenger Worksheet: Gives students density problems that require the rearrangement of the D = M/V equation to answer, so in addition to density, students will be calculating mass and volume. Several word problems are included.
8. Density Quiz: This quiz has 9 multiple-choice questions and one short answer. It covers simple density calculations, the concept of sinking or floating, and relative density (comparing diagrams).
9. Density Test: This is more than a “definition style” exam! There are diagrams and simple charts to analyze, and the questions mimic how standardized tests generally ask about this topic. This test covers middle school-level density, including a few basic D=M/V calculations. There are 22 multiple-choice questions and 2 open-response questions.
