Matter is Tasty!

Matter is everywhere! As part of our science curriculum, students learn and identify the states of matter. The last few weeks we have studied the three states of matter and its physical properties. Students explored the room and classified different objects as a solid, liquid, or gas. They also had to find the properties of matter for each object. Our last day of our matter unit was super fun!

Did you know Root Beer Floats have three states of matter?

  1. solid-ice cream

  2. liquid-root beer

  3. gas-The ice cream and root beer mix creating bubbles. The bubbles are trapped gas.

Matter changes states; a liquid can become solid when it freezes, a solid becomes liquid when it melts, etc. and all these changes can happen in a root beer float.

Students observed and wrote down their predictions! Now it is time to ENJOY!
