In science next week we will continue our study of matter. After taking time to sort solids and liquids and talk about their characteristics with some fun experiments, they will be ready to show what they know. Monday and Tuesday, we will review our poster of solid/liquids: shape, size, color and texture; and then they will draw one of each, using that vocabulary to describe each. On Tuesday, I will have them go home and bring in either a solid or liquid from home to share out during science describing it using size, shape, color and texture. The really fun stuff will come Thursday and Friday when we talk about how matter can change. To cut, rip, burn, bake/cook different solids and liquids will change the matter. I will bring in lettuce and carrots to cut, showing them changing shape. I will burn paper (in a bowl of water beneath :) so there are no accidental fires) to show that we can change the texture/shape/size of the solid. They will cut paper so they can see how the shape changes. Then on Friday, we will either bake brownies or cupcakes (depending on how adventurous I feel) to show how solids (the mix) mixed with the eggs/oil will change into a liquid and then bake into a solid again when we bake it. I will have a big piece of butcher paper with a chart of the matter and how it changed by what action. Should be a fun week!
