Solid, Liquid, Gas

In Room 2 we have been learning about what a solid, liquid and gas is. 

To help with this we have been doing a lot of hands on experiments... which we LOVE doing!!!

In our class we have salt crystals growing and been watching how we can make a solid into a liquid and how it turns back into a solid, we have also seen this through our melted crayon pictures which glow in the windows when the sun shines through!

We have looked at eggs, and made predictions about what they were like inside their solid shell... Room 2 though that it was a solid too, 

but when Mrs Vercoe broke the egg it was a liquid!!

We then cooked them and saw steam which Petelo knew was a gas, then we broke them again and found that they had turned into a solid!!

Yesterday we started an experiment with 'water boxes', we tried to hold them, but they always fell though our fingers... a liquid needs to be in  a container with no holes, 

or it will go EVERYWHERE!!
Our 'water boxes' are now in the freezer to change them into a solid... I wonder what they will look like this afternoon!
