Matter or Energy?

What’s included:

• 2 category header cards: Matter and Energy, each with a clear definition
• 20 word cards to sort across both categories
• Control chart for independent self-correction
• PDF format, print and cut

How to use: Children cut and sort the word cards under the correct category header, then self-check using the control chart. Works beautifully as a follow-up to the book “Energy Makes Things Happen” and pairs well with hands-on demonstrations of how energy causes movement and change. A wonderful entry point into physics at the lower elementary level.

Perfect for: Montessori lower elementary classrooms, homeschool families, and science teachers introducing physics and physical science concepts in grades 1 to 3. Particularly well suited for special education settings, neurodivergent learners, and any child who benefits from hands-on, visual, and multi-sensory approaches to learning.
