Description
Engage students as they learn about the states of matter and phase changes in this simple to use scavenger hunt. Students travel to 10 stations where they will find 10 questions. The answers to each question are in short paragraphs on different stations. This allows students lots of movement around the classroom and the opportunity to read the 10 short paragraphs about phase change several times.
The activity works great to front load the content because no prior knowledge is needed – all answers can be found at the stations. Includes questions such as:
-
In what state of matter are atoms spread out and moving freely? (gas)
-
What are formed when water vapor in the air cools and changes in to tiny liquid droplets? (clouds)
-
What kind of reaction releases energy? (exothermic)
As students travel around they room, they complete the answer grid which has some letters highlighted. The letters will spell out the answer to a riddle (“What do you call a wet teddy bear?” “A drizzly bear.”)
This activity includes a modified version in which students are told which of the stations to find each of the answers.
Simple to use – just print and go! My students took about 25-30 minutes to complete this activity with no prior knowledge at all.
