This document discusses the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - and the properties of density. It describes a candle burning activity where the solid wax turns to liquid and then gas as smoke. Students will conduct experiments with density towers to observe which substances, such as ethyl alcohol, water, and cooking oil, stay above or below each other due to their densities. Homework includes bringing materials like syringes and wires for experiments on the properties of matter during the next meeting.
