We started off our week exploring the different states of matter... solid, liquid, and gas. During our science lab, I filled Ziploc bags with a solid object (toy car), a liquid (water) and a gas (air). We talked about how a solid object keeps its shape, a liquid takes the shape of its container, and a gas fills the space it is in. We passed the bags around and the students got to feel each of he bags, compare each of the states of matter, and turn and talk about the properties of matter they…
