States
Solid - linked arms together (whole class)
Liquid - hold hands and do the wave (at least in pairs)
Gas - run around separate from each other
Instructions
Can be yelled as states (e.g. Atom says, "Solid")
Can also be yelled as changing states (e.g. Atom says, "Melt")

Last one to the state or who doesn't follow Atom says, is out and helps Atom catch those that make mistakes.

Task 2 is a thought experiment where students take a piece of paper and cut it in half. They then take one half of that piece of paper and cut that in half. They keep repeating that until they can't cut the paper any more. This is the first idea humans had about the concept of what made up matter, which is the atom (atomos).
