Our MWF students are learning about liquids and solids. We learned that temperature will change solids and liquids. We are using the words-
experiment, observe and predict. We will continue to use these words throughout the school year.
We created an ice cream cone craft. We noticed the waffle cone had a
texture to it. Students added texture to their paper with a brown crayon. A simple ice cream shape was cut, glued and then more texture! Sprinkles (office dots and cut labels), sticky jewels and pom poms finish the work.
What can you do at home? A lot...it's water and containers. Easy breezy! Experiment with different containers, sunny windows or place a container with ice outside where it is still cool and a container with ice inside. Ask your child to predict which will melt faster. Why? Place different sized plastic containers in the freezer and predict which will freeze faster. We also discuss that dish soap, gasoline, shampoo, bubbles, etc. are liquids. Have fun exploring liquids and solids with your child!
