About this resource
Description
Science has its own vocabulary, and young scientists need to see those words every day. These Matter Word Wall Flash Cards give your class sixteen key words about matter: the three states of matter, the properties we can observe, and the changes matter goes through when it is heated or cooled. Each card shows the word in big, bold letters, a clear picture of that word, and a short meaning written for elementary readers.
Print the cards one-sided, cut them apart on the dashed lines, and post them on your science word wall or in a pocket chart. Introduce a few words at a time, talk about each picture, and read the meaning together. The How to Use page walks you through every step, from prep to review games, and a short practice worksheet checks that students can use the words in a sentence.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page with prep steps and teaching ideas
- 16 word cards on two sheets: matter, solid, liquid, gas, property, texture, flexible, magnetic, mass, mixture, dissolve, melt, freeze, boil, evaporate and condense
- A 2nd grade practice worksheet: circle the science word that fits each sentence
- An answer key with the complete card list and the practice answers
Why These Matter Vocabulary Cards Help Kids
First, every word is paired with a picture, so students connect the term to something real, like an ice cube melting or steam rising from a kettle. Second, the short meanings use simple sentences, which helps readers from 2nd to 5th grade learn the words on their own. Third, a word wall keeps the vocabulary in sight all year, so students use the words when they talk and write about their science investigations.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Sort the cards into three groups: states of matter, properties and changes. Hold up a card and have students act out the word, such as melt or boil. Ask children to find an example at home, like a flexible straw or a magnetic fridge clip. Use the matter word wall flash cards as a warm-up before a lesson on the water cycle or on mixtures.
