In our science unit about the properties of matter, we have been learning new vocabulary to help us talk about solids (flexible, rigid, rough, smooth...) and liquids (transparent, opaque...) We have practiced observing and comparing the properties of matter, exploring objects in class and jars of various mystery liquids. Students have used Venn diagrams to organize their descriptions, finding what is the same and different about two objects or substances. We even explored the viscosity (resistance, thickness) of different liquids by playing a game called Racing Drops. Ask your child to tell you about the winning and losing drops of this race!
