About this resource

Description

Understanding matter is the foundation of physical science, and this Properties of Matter Review Worksheet helps fourth graders lock in what they have learned about solids, liquids, and gases. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, and every object a student can see or touch is made of it. By reviewing the key properties and the three states of matter, children build the vocabulary and reasoning they need to describe and compare the world around them with confidence.

This printable 4th grade matter worksheet is organized into two clear activities. First, students answer short review questions about what matter is, which state keeps its own shape, and which states take the shape of their container. Then they sort everyday objects — a brick, water, steam, an apple, milk, and the air in a balloon — by labeling each one solid, liquid, or gas. Use it as a review before a quiz, a science center rotation, or homework that reinforces a states-of-matter lesson.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 5 short-answer review questions plus a 6-item solid/liquid/gas sorting activity

There are three big reasons this Properties of Matter Review Worksheet helps students learn. First, the short-answer questions ask children to explain concepts in their own words, which deepens understanding far more than simple recall. Second, the sorting activity connects abstract terms to concrete, familiar objects, making the three states of matter easy to picture. Third, the clean layout and clear science illustration keep learners focused so they can review independently and check their own thinking against the answer key.

Teachers and parents can extend this skill with hands-on exploration. Freeze, pour, and boil water to watch the same substance change states, then have children describe what they observe. Go on a “states of matter” hunt around the classroom or kitchen, sorting objects into solid, liquid, and gas. Challenge students to draw the particles in each state, showing how they are packed tightly in a solid and spread far apart in a gas. Pairing these activities with the worksheet turns a review into real understanding.
