Changes in States of Matter Stations: A Phase Change Activity

Practice the changes in states of matter in your middle school science classroom with these physical science stations. This activity can function as a practice, a review, or an assessment about phase changes. Station questions include defining, providing examples of, drawing, and explaining freezing, melting, sublimation, condensation, and vaporization.

What's included in this resource:

• 22 station cards
• A teacher information page with detailed directions
• Individual Student Station Sheets (for modification purposes, absent students, or misbehaving students)
• Blank Stations (for teachers and/or students to print and write their own station cards)
• An Answer Key

Why you and your students will love these stations:

• Whenever students get up and move around the room they are more motivated, work harder, and have a greater focus on the material (especially during long block classes).
• Stations are a great alternative to worksheets while still accomplishing student practice with content.
• You save time and paper by not having to make hundreds of copies of a resource.
• Stations allow teachers to provide extra assistance to ELL and SPED students.
• Behavior expectations are included so you can smoothly implement this activity.
• These stations can be purchased in a changes in states of matter bundle, so you can save tons of planning time while giving your students an interesting, cohesive, and thorough unit on phase changes. The bundle has interactive notebook pages, projects, worksheets, activities, assessments, and more.
• Stations aren't quite your thing? Try them as task cards instead.

What teachers are saying about this resource:

• “The stations were a big success; the students enjoyed being able to go around and test their knowledge instead of sitting in their desks the whole period.”
• “Used it when I was in a pinch without the science teacher on my team, sub used the activity with no problems!”
• "Love, love, love stations! The conversations between the kids at each station amazes me!"
• "Great resource to use as a review activity (individually or in pairs) or use as a quick assessment. I like the blank station cards that I can customize for my class!"
