We are currently learning about the different properties of matter in science. While exploring a variety of solid objects, we compared them to see which ones were flexible or rigid, smooth or rough, soft or hard, has color or not, and pointed or flat.
We also discussed the differences between a solid, liquid and gas. We learned that a solid has its own shape, while a liquid and a gas take on the shape of the container it is in. We also found out that a liquid flows, while a gas completely fills its container.
We had an interesting discussion about how the "gas' we put in our car is actually a liquid, and how our sun looks solid, but is actually a gas! The children asked wonderful "I Wonder' questions just like real scientists!
