Changes in States of Matter Graph

This graphic organizer helps students visualize the relationship between temperature and energy when matter changes states. Use as a note-taking guide or a reflective assignment! Students complete the graph by labeling the phase change arrows (melting, freezing, condensation, and evaporation) and drawing in the particle arrangement for each state. Two versions of the handout have been included, one with a word bank and one without. In both versions, there are two graphs per page to save on pri

Experience

This is my third year teaching 8th grade. I have two years of experience teaching science and one year teaching U.S. history.

Teaching style

I utilize a variety of teaching styles in my classroom, and could not simply pick one! I like to engage my students with hands-on activities every day. My students also create an Interactive Science Notebook (ISN), which includes all of their notes, labs, and reflection activities. The assignments I create for the ISN are designed to be visually appealing and versatile for any teacher's specific needs.

My own education history

My Bachelor's Degree is in History from the University of Tennessee. I also have a Master's Degree in Social Science Education with an emphasis in Middle Grades Education from the University of Tennessee.
