When I was teaching middle school science and covering the 5 states of matter, I decided to create a word wall reference for my students. I added a new word(s) as we went through our unit. It is important to remember that many students are visual learners, and having a reference point with an example can go a long ways in helping our students better understand a scientific concept.
I also printed the word wall posters in half sheets so that students could glue them into their science notebook and have the terms as a study tool. In our lesson, we went over the following 20 words. I have created a printable poster resource you can grab here.
:: Matter
:: Mass
:: Atom
:: Electrons
:: Elements
:: Density
:: Elasticity
:: Solids
:: Liquids
:: Gases
:: Plasma
:: Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC)
:: Phase
:: Evaporation
:: Boiling
:: Melting
:: Freezing
:: Condensation
:: Vapor
:: Standard State
If you want to recreate this bulletin board or are looking for just the printable posters, I have created an easy to print kit. I actually created this entire bulletin board using only a black and white printer. I printed the posters on a decorative paper that I picked up at the dollar store. I printed the bulletin board headers on alternating colored paper. I wanted the background of my bulletin board to be bright and fun. I picked up the cheap table cloths from the party section at the store and cut to size.
