We have been having a lot of fun in our classroom learning about the different states of matter. We know there are 3 kinds of matter: solids, liquids and gases.
We have learned the important properties of each of these states of matter and we have investigated many examples.
We looked at various bottles that contained "mystery matter". We identified it as either solid or liquid and used as many describing words as we could to record our observations about each bottle.
We broke solids and mixed various liquids with water to see if they could be 'diluted'.
We discovered that some liquids will mix but some will not!
We mixed a liquid and a solid to make an interesting substance called "OObleck".
We even made a gas by mixing a liquid and a solid.
We have practiced writing about our investigations in words and diagrams!
