Huh, that’s really interesting. I’d have expected it was prior to condensate being introduced, not plasma, since plasma can be easily demonstrated in the classroom but condensates have really only been easily demonstrable for at most two decades. Very curious - do you remember if you had a standardized curriculum, and if so which one it was?
I also found it weird, I was taught 3 in school, but Plasma was already being considered a different state, just wasn’t taught in schools. Condensate had only just been experimentally created and I didn’t even knew about them until this thread.
I’m clearly a bit older (prior to plasma categorized) and was taught 4.

Yeah, I graduated high school in 2005, and it was three phases of matter, but there’s also plasma, but we aren’t going to talk about it.
Honestly I think it was just three now that you mention it and the other reply. Have no clue the curriculum, it was in the 70s.
