Physical Properties

Dear Parents,

We are going to be starting a unit on physical properties. At the end of this unit your child will be able to conduct test, compare data, and draw conclusions about physical properties of matter. These all go along with the TEKS.

Here are some Internet sites that you and your child will have fun learning all about Physical Properties.

At the site Quia-Matter your child can play a matching game about physical properties and a game called concentration that deals with physical properties. Both games make you think. They are are more wordy than any other game so be prepared to read some but they are still fun and you learn alot.

At the site Gamequarium you can learn about physical and chemical change. This site has many different games to choose from. I would like you to play the game called Grouping and Changing materials. This game lets you choose the grade level you would like to play on. Please start at your grade level but feel free to move up grade levels and try out different more harder games.

Matter Games has some games that will help your child expand their knowledge about matter and it's physical properties. I would like your child to first look at their science book periodic table, then they will be able to get more answers correct when playing the Element Matching and Element Concentration games. Feel free to help them out because we will not cover every element in as much detail as all the others.

Changing State is a fun site that has lots of games that help you see the different states of matter. You can play solids, liquids, and gas's. Play these games with your children. Have them quiz you and see if YOU can answer the questions correctly.
