States of Matter Sorting - Cut & Paste

Understanding the states of matter helps children grasp why substances behave as they do and lays the foundation for more complex scientific concepts.

This is a cut-and-paste activity. Cut out the pictures. Identify and classify the matter into three states: solid, liquid, and gas. Use the control chart to verify the classification. Glue the pictures onto the bank chart.

This set includes:

  • 8 pictures of matter in a solid state
  • 8 pictures of matter in a liquid state
  • 8 pictures of matter in a gas state
  • 1 blank chart
  • 1 control chart

The cut-out pictures come in two versions: one set is organized in a classified order, while the other is in random order for a greater challenge. Additionally, there are two variants: one set is labeled, and the other is not.

The control chart is approx. 8½" x 11".
