Matter Song

How to teach Matter

The Matter Song teaches all about matter and the states of matter. With this states of matter song, students learn about solid, liquid, and gas, as well as the phases of matter, properties of matter, physical changes, chemical changes, and so much more.

Matter has mass and takes up space. It’s everything you see, touch, and taste. Matter is the stuff that is all around. Matter has properties that tells what it’s like. It goes through physical and chemical changes, that’s right! Matter is everything round us that has mass and volume. All matter is comprised of molecules. The movement of these molecules determines the object’s state of matter.

The Matter Song is a science song by Have Fun Teaching that teaches matter and the states of matter. This is the best song for teacghing matter and learning all about matter.

Matter has mass and takes up space
It’s everything you see, touch and taste
Matter is made of tiny molecules and atoms
Elements with protons, neutrons and electrons

Matter is the stuff that is all around
Scientists have found some things that don’t count
Matter cannot be a form of energy
Like wind, sound, light or heat

Matter has mass and takes up space
Solid, liquid, gas are the three different states
Matter has properties that tell what it’s like
It goes through physical and chemical changes, that’s right!

Solid, liquid, gas are the three different states
These phases of matter change what the matter makes
If water’s solid it’s ice, if it’s liquid it’s water
If the water is a gas then it turns to water vapor

Melting is going from a solid to a liquid
Evaporating is going from a liquid to a gas
Condensation is going from a gas to a liquid
Freezing is going from a liquid to a solid

Matter has properties that tell what it’s like
We make careful observations to help us describe
Mass, Volume, Density, and Pressure
Size, Shape, Texture, and Temperature

Properties of matter can be chemical
If oxidation takes place or if something is flammable
Matter can never be destroyed or created
A new substance can form with a chemical reaction

In a physical change, the object stays the same
You can fold it, bend it, cut it, but the object still remains
A physical change doesn’t really change the matter
The matter just moves from one state to another
In a chemical change, a new substance is created
You can rust it, burn it, cook it, but you can’t reverse it
In a chemical change something new will form
Energy is given off or energy is absorbed
