States of matter experiments 2nd

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…

Teaching the states of matter can be one of the most exciting lessons of the year if you do it right. Here are some fun activities to try.

Learn about states of matter and phase changes with these fun and easy states of matter experiments for kids.

Exploring matter and energy in kindergarten and first grade is so much fun. Watching little ones see the objects around them scientifically is exciting and a tad bit adorable. But nothing beats the surprise as they see matter change before their eyes. Teaching states of matter may take a lot of preparation and experiments, but

We are learning about the states of matter- solids, liquids, gases…oh my! I absolutely love this unit because there are so many hands-on experiments and activities we use. One of our first experiments demonstrates how air has mass. It is so hard for students to understand that air has weight, or mass! Materials: – a […]
