Properties of Matter Collection Review
I found this collection to be very useful for teachers, teacher candidates, or simply anyone looking to further conceptualize their understandings on the concept of matter and its parts. The variety of resources, from podcasts to sciguides, to articles and book chapters, are a great way to inform and/or refresh our thinking on the topic. I found the sciguides to be particularly helpful and easy to follow as they provide brief, yet thorough references with themes and examples involving the building blocks of matter, the characteristic properties of matter, and the changes in those properties. This is a great collection for elementary teachers to sharpen their skills on this science topic, and strengthen their abilities within the subject. As a future science educator, I am eager to make use of this, and other collections, that will enable me to teach the content with greater confidence and effectiveness.
