As of September 30, 2005, the North Central Regional Technology in Education Consortium is no longer in operation.
This activity, with the help of visual materials, is intended to enhance and supplement the teaching of a unit on the properties of matter.
Prior hands-on work with the three properties of matter is recommended.
Students in first grade sometimes have a hard time recognizing the forms of
matter in the world beyond the classroom. They especially are confused by the
term we use for gasoline: "gas." They hear this term so much in their daily
lives that they may have created a mental picture of gas as being liquid. They
will need repeated exposure to as many images of gas as can be presented, as
well as hands-on experience, to help them to reconstruct their information.
