Solid, Liquid or Gas?

Hello Parents and Guardians,

This week we will be learning about the states of matter,
there are five states of matter but we will be focusing on
the three most common states. They are solids, liquids and
gases. Information on all the states of matter
can be found at Visionlearning.

Again I have located games for you and your child to play at home.
They are as follows:

At the solid and liquid game, you and your child can explore solids and liquids. Choose a substance and heat it to see at what temperature it melts. Then you can swirl the beaker to see how it moves. Ten you can freeze it back to a solid and swirl it again. Try different substances and not the differences in their melting points.

Another game you and your child can play is the changing state game. I this game you can heat or cool liquids to change their state and then change it back again. After you experiment you can take a quick quiz to check your understanding.
