    This document provides instructions for completing a webquest on states of matter. It includes 9 tasks that involve completing online activities, games, quizzes and experiments about matter. The tasks cover defining the three states of matter, their properties, examples of physical and chemical changes, and measuring melting and boiling points. Students are asked to take notes, answer questions, and rate the difficulty of some of the activities. The goal is to help students hone their skills at identifying states of matter and the differences between physical and chemical changes.
