These are example questions applied to states of matter.

Observing the Concept

• How does a solid object actually move?
• What changes when something starts to melt?
• Can you feel how the particles behave differently?

Experimenting with Movement

• What happens if you move faster or slower?
• Can you show the difference between a solid, liquid, and gas?
• How can you show that the particles gradually move further apart?

Problem-Solving Thinking

• Which movement best shows the melting process?
• Can you think of another way to represent the same concept?
• Does your strategy work for the whole group? If not, what can you change?
