What's the Matter?

We've been studying about the different kinds of matter. We did an experiment with hot water and ice. The screen on the top of the bottle helped to create "Fog in a Bottle."

First we heated the water, then put the ice on top and waited. Then the fog came throught the holes in the screen and around the ice. Really cool!

In Science we've been learning about kinds of matter: solid, liquid, gas. We did an experiment with hot water and ice and watched water droplets form inside the jar. We made rain!

Last week we made lemonade with lemons, ice, water and a little sugar which dissolved in the water. When we stirred everything up, we each had a nice cup of lemonade.

The pictures below were all made from salt dissolved in a bit of water. We painted the salt on the picture with a cotton swab.

Look for examples of solid, liquid and gas all around you. Don't forget; you are made of matter.
