States of Matter and the Phase Changes

Doodle Notes
TEACHER NOTES

These Doodle Notes are a graphic organizer for your students as they master the
concepts of the States of Matter and the Phase Changes. Students can complete the
notes individually or in pairs after learning the concept. There are two versions of the
States of Matter page for differentiation. The KEY pages can be used on a document
camera (Elmo) or projected onto a screen for students to check their work. I suggest
having students choose a color for the addition of energy and a color for the removal
of energy and coloring in the phase change arrows appropriately. This will help them to
understand that the overall energy of matter and the state of matter are inseparable
concepts.

These graphics and images are a part of my Energy of

Matter and Phase Changes Cornell Doodle Notes, which dive a
little deeper into this concept by explaining the kinetic energy
of matter (thermal energy) and temperature as a measure
of the speed of particles. If you are interested, please check
