In Grade 1 Physical Science, the "Understanding matter concepts" skill refers to a student's ability to grasp basic ideas about matter, including identifying different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) and recognizing that matter occupies space and has mass. It encompasses understanding simple properties of materials and how they can change under various conditions.
To train the Understanding Matter Concepts skill in Grade 1 students, employ hands-on activities such as sorting objects based on materials (wood, metal, plastic), conducting simple experiments like mixing water and oil to observe immiscibility, and using sensory experiences to explore different states of matter (solids, liquids, gases) through ice melting, water boiling, or observing steam.
To test a Grade 1 student's understanding of matter concepts, use simple, interactive experiments such as mixing water and oil to demonstrate immiscibility or melting ice to show phase change. Employ visual aids like flashcards or models to identify solid, liquid, and gas states.
