Dear Parents,
This week in class your child will be learning about solids, liquids, and gases. These three physical states of matter are apart of our everyday lives. For example we need water which is a liquid to survive, and we cannot breathe without oxygen. This unit on physical states of matter is apart of the TEKS that will learn over the next year. I hope that this unit will be a fun and interesting one for you and your child. I want your child to see how the particles arrange in each of the states of matter.
On the site States of Matter you and your child will see by clicking on each state of matter how the particles are arrange for solids, liquids, and gases. Here is a picture of what the states of matter look like with their names with picture examples of each state of matter:
For the final site, I would like your child to go to Study Jams! Here your child can watch a video about the states of matter, sing a song about it, take a quiz, and review vocabulary on solids, liquids, and gases. This is a fun and interactive site that I think will break down the concept of these states of matter. Please take your child to this site as a review for this unit. The picture below is also a link to this website.

That is all for this week, hope you and your child have a great time with this unit. If you have any questions let me know. Have fun!
