First I divided the students up into 3 groups (so not everyone would pick the same type of matter).  We had the solids group, the liquids group, and the gases group.  Next they drew a picture of their type of matter using Pixie and exported it as a JPG so we could upload it to the database.  Then we entered our data into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mytaskhelper.com\/widgets\/dbCBq5leriUBbHLe7nUtGy\/aqu18hFzfg06Dn3fHq8yAg\">online form<\/a>.  After everyone finished we took a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mytaskhelper.com\/apps\/dbCBq5leriUBbHLe7nUtGy\/widgets\/aqu18hFzfg06Dn3fHq8yAg\">completed database<\/a>.  I showed the students how to sort the data by different categories.  You can sort it by type of matter, teacher name, student name, date, etc.  You can also search a database for a specific name or type of matter.  We have over 50 records so far&#8230; go ahead and add your own to it! Another cool thing you could have your students do is go to <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/DragDrop\/Matter.swf\">this website<\/a> and sort student-drawn pictures into solids, liquids, and gasses.  The pictures were drawn by 2nd grade students in Ms. Roeder&#8217;s class.
