Teachers, save “Matter Vocabulary Assessment, ACCESS-style” to assign it to your class.

1. First, listen to the model. Listen carefully to the academic words that Nina uses. Also pay attention to how many sentences she uses. 2. Now it's your turn.

When you are ready, record yourself explaining how solids and liquids are alike and different.
