3rd Grade Matter and Its Changes Review

3rd Grade Matter and Its Changes Review Worksheet (Matter and Energy, TEKS 3.6)

Students review matter by naming melting, freezing, evaporation, or condensation in everyday scenes, then use a word bank to finish sentences about mass, magnetism, solids, and floating. Simple black and white doodles and big, easy to read text keep the focus on the science, not the reading. No prior knowledge is needed: the page teaches the idea first.

What's Inside

• A teach strip that sums up properties and changes of state
• Part A: write M, F, E, or C for four scenes, with one done
• Part B: finish four sentences with words from a word bank, with one done
• A friendly squirrel guide that points out the key idea
• A visual answer key with answers marked in red, plus a short teacher note

How Teachers Use It

Use it as a mini lesson follow up, a quick check, or a science center. It takes 6 to 8 minutes and prints clearly in black and white. The focus skill is applying physical properties and changes of state to everyday examples, part of the grade 3 matter and energy strand.

Why It Works

Each sheet teaches one idea with everyday objects kids already know. Every activity has a done for you example, and students only circle, sort, number, or write a letter or word, so they can finish on their own. Wrong choices are believable, not silly, so students have to think. Pair it with the other Matter and Energy sheets to cover properties, measuring, states of matter, changes of state, and choosing and combining materials.
