This past week we been our first science unit - Solids, Liquids and Gases. We have been learning all about the properties of a solid, or ways to describe solid objects. Words we have learned and used include flexible, rigid, rough, smooth, flat, pointed, hard, soft and has color. Each of the children began with a Discovery bag for them to explore. The bag consisted of a verity of different solid objects that represented the properties we are discussing.
On Friday, we became engineers and used our new knowledge of solids to design and build structures using materials such as screws, rubber bands, paper cups, straws, fabric, plastic tubing, Popsicle sticks, tin foil, cardboard and wire. Here we are building before we entered the Kefgen Museum of Engineering to observe how others used the solids to construct.
We are really looking forward to exploring the properties of liquids this week!
