States of matter are an essential concept in science education that helps students understand the different forms of matter around us. As children start to learn about the world around them, they will inevitably encounter different types of matter in their everyday lives. The concept of states of matter is critical for children to understand.

Engaging second grade science stations that follow the NGSS science standards for states of matter. These properties of matter science stations will have your 2nd grade students focused on reading and writing about science. Students learn about properties of matter, test different materials, and learn about how objects can be disassembled into small pieces and made into something new. #secondgradescience #ngss #2ndgradescience #sciencestations
