States of Matter

In science the class has been learning about physical properties of matter, states of matter, and how matter can be changed. The experiments that align with these topics are always so much fun for the class. One week they completed Cracker Science, using the physical properties like color, size, texture, and shape to describe the different types of crackers. The students loved it and enjoyed eating the crackers afterwards.

To demonstrate how states of matter can change the class explored root beer floats! I put ice cream in all of their cups and then poured root beer over it and we watched the solid ice cream become a liquid and the root beer release gas. It was a fun and tasty experiment!
