States of Matter – What is matter?
Matter is Everywhere! Everything around you and making you is made up of matter- the trees, the smoke, even the water you drink. On Earth, matter can be found under 3 different physical forms called states of matter. One of the first science concepts many children learn is the three states of matter: gas, liquid and solid. We created myViewBoard Originals of learning states of matter, 2 versions included. One is for kindergarten through grade 2 students to strengthen students' understanding of matter and its three states. The other is for grade 4-6 students an insight into how the states of matter can be changed from one form to another.

Specific Heat Capacity
If you have ever been to the beach, you know that while the sand has become quite hot, the water has stayed cool. So that the sand can get too hot to walk on. But you can always cool your feet off in the cold water. Why is the water so much colder than the sand when they are both getting heated by the Sun equally? The answer has to do with specific heat capacity! With myViewBoard Original Content you can: - Define the term 'specific heat capacity' and explain what it means. - Memorize and use the formula for specific heat capacity, and understand what it means.

Learning About Feelings
Naming our emotions is an important first step in dealing with them effectively. We first need to teach children the words to express their feelings before we require them to “use their words.” We designed a wide variety of myViewBoard Originals - Learning About Feelings activities that can be used in online or offline classes to make #HybridLearning interactive and engaging in the classroom. The original content is starting to let students know how their choices make them feel and then packed with fun, imaginative ways to help children understand and cope with a whole range of different emotions and how they are expressed through our faces. Students will learn to use adjectives to describe a variety of feelings and be able to identify feelings using a variety of words how they have felt in various situations. It is also can help teachers get to know your students, to help your students get to know each other as well.
