Oh! Dear What Can The Matter Be?

Tuning-in to the central idea - Properties of matter go through changes, had students go on a 'matter scavenger hunt'. As a class students stated their prior knowledge of 'matter' which was recorded on the board. After the activity we discussed about their new understanding of 'matter', This was also recorded. Following this activity, students came up with their 'ask' question for their inquiry.
