What Really Matters?Incorporating disciplinary skills
• Students will have an opportunity to fully understand the properties of matter.
• The students will partake in an amusing and exploratory scavenger hunt.
• The activity promotes the students literacy skills, and science skills, while on the scavenger hunt.

Water, Water, Everywhere and Lots and Lots to DrinkThe Phase of Matter in the Water Cycle
• Students were asked which phase of matter they think plays the most important role in the water cycle.
