In Science, we have been
learning about matter. We discovered that even air has
matter. We've discussed how to describe matter by weighing
different objects and playing "I spy."
Next, we took objects and
added heat to them to see if they would change. We did a fun ice cube
experiment to see what tool would melt the ice cube the fastest. Most
students said the hair dryer would melt the ice cube the fastest, but it was
actually the hot water that worked the quickest! We predicted what
would happen if we added heat to it. Many students said it
would turn into a liquid. The Ivory soap didn't melt, but grew out like a
volcano!
Then, we added heat to
popcorn kernels. We put the kernels into an air popper and watched how
the kernels changed colors and then blossomed out like a flower.
Finally, we were able to eat the results of our experiment !
As these changes took place,
we noticed what physical properties changed. We noticed that
the size, shape, and weight were the most common properties that changed.
