Modeling dissolving and evaporating is a Grade 5 science topic that explores how substances behave during two important processes involving matter. This worksheet resource focuses on the science of dissolving and evaporation, giving teachers a topic-specific resource for introducing or reinforcing these concepts in elementary science lessons.

Explore How Matter Changes

Dissolving and evaporating are important processes in understanding the behavior of matter. Modeling these processes provides a way to focus classroom learning on what happens when substances dissolve and when evaporation occurs. The topic connects to Grade 5 physical science instruction and offers an opportunity to discuss the processes using scientific models.
