This afternoon during science, we continued our study of matter. Today we learned about the particles that make up solids, liquids, and gases. On the far left, we have a solid. Solids have their own shape and are made up of lots of particles packed tightly together. Particles in a solid don't spread out or move much. In the center, we have a liquid. Liquids flow and take the shape of their container. The particles that make up liquids are spaced out a bit more and can move around. On the right, we have a gas. Gases also flow, but they take up the entire shape of their container. Particles that make up gases can spread out and move a lot. Following our demonstration from our solid, liquid, and gas buddies from above, we completed this really fun & fruity "States of Matter" craftivity! The kids did a great job re-creating what they learned about the particles that make up the three different states of matter.
