Matter can be identified as a solid or a liquid based on physical properties like shape and temperature. 1. Click the add button. 2. Look at the shapes on the page and decide how you want to group them. You could group them by color, shape, number of sides, etc. It is up to you! 3. Drag the shapes to the empty circles and classify them into three groups. 4. Click the mic to explain why you grouped your items the way you did. You may also label each group if you choose to. 5.
