Letter hints provided to support differentiated learning.

Puzzle is available as both printable PDF and Google Slide™.

Solve The Puzzles
l. rearrange the letters to reveal the words hidden in the grid; record the correct spelling

Properties of matter include the various characteristics of matter (solid, liquid, gas) such as: size (small, big), weight/mass, volume, boiling and freezing points, color (red, orange, yellow, etc), bendability/flexibility, texture (what matter feels like: gooey, prickly, smooth, rough, crinkly, soft, furry), whether matter sinks or floats, taste (crunchy, sweet, sour, bitter), whether something is magnetic or not, sound (noisy, quiet), hard/soft
