3.5B describe and classify samples of matter as solids, liquids, and gases and demonstrate that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their container
3rd Grade students were STEAMing up the Library during their study of Matter.
BrainPOP was used to review the fact that everything that takes up space is matter. All matter exists as solids, liquids, or gases. Students listed facts about each state of matter on chart paper. Solids keep their own shape and when water is in its solid form it’s ice. Liquids do not hold their own shape. When a liquid is poured into a container it takes the shape of that container. Gas moves around, it can be invisible, odorless, or even have smells. When water is heated to 212 degrees it turns into steam, a gas – water vapor.
Mrs. Bratton & Mrs. Brown demonstrated that water can change from one state to another if heated or cooled. Students loved hearing the sound of the kettle and watching the steam move around when the water was heated. Students describe the look and feel of water in its liquid and solid form. Some students enjoyed water in its solid form!
