Correctives for Objectives A, B, C
ObjectiveA:
Create a three column chart that contains the properties of a liquid, solid and a gas. Use your science
notebook and the solution station to make sure your answers are correct. In your science notebook, we
did interactive notes on a page that contains this information.
Remember: PARTICLES, SHAPE, SPACE.
Your chart should look like this:
Solids
