Artistic Techniques: Learn how to use contrasting colours and textures to represent the distinct qualities of solids, liquids, and gases in your collage. You’ll explore how movement can be conveyed through shape and line to depict the dynamic nature of matter in different states.

Creative Expression: Create your own collage using a combination of paint, card, and coloured pencils to visually express the characteristics of the three states of matter. You’ll experiment with how texture and layering can bring these states to life.

Critical Thinking: Consider how your artistic choices—such as colour, texture, and composition—can clearly communicate scientific concepts like the structure of solids, the fluidity of liquids, or the spread of gases.

Collaboration: Work with classmates to exchange ideas and critique each other’s collages, learning how to give and receive constructive feedback that enhances your artwork and understanding of the states of matter.

Problem-Solving: Use creative problem-solving to figure out how to represent challenging concepts, like showing the difference between a solid’s rigidity and a liquid’s flow, or how gases expand, through visual elements.

Personal Growth: Reflect on your artistic process and improve your ability to visually communicate scientific ideas. This project will also help you develop confidence in both your art and your understanding of the states of matter.
