Teacher Page

• This is a good review of the States of Matter.
  Each year my students come to me with gaps in
  their education because of moving in from another
  state, country, or just from within the county.
  Students prior knowledge will be different.
• This lesson is a good way to review the States of
  Matter by incorporating an interactive lesson
  into center time.
