This document discusses states of matter and changes in matter caused by temperature. It defines matter as anything that occupies space and has mass, and identifies three common states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The document then describes an activity where students will observe how solids like candle wax and crayons melt when heated, changing from solid to liquid, and how they solidify again when cooled by changing back from liquid to solid. Students are provided exercises to test their understanding of these changes in states of matter caused by temperature.
