Solid, Liquid & Gas

As part of our inquiry topic we have been learning about the states of matter. We watched a cartoon about solids, liquids and gases and have also been learning a song about them. The children have asked to have access to the song from home, so here is the link to the site:

After watching the cartoon we decided to be Room 10 molecules. We started off as a solid and as we were heated up by an imaginary fire we turned into liquid and moved a little faster and slightly further apart. We got heated up even more, turning into gas and we moved really fast and much further apart. Being gas molecules was the most fun!

Next week we will look at the parts of the volcano that are solid, liquid and gas. We will also continue working on our papier mache volcano, preparing it for a great explosion!
