Year 4 began their unit of ‘States of Matter‘ in Science this half term. We have been exploring the properties of liquids, solids and gas by acting like their particles in groups.
Can you guess which is which?
We then sorted images of a variety of materials based on this:
Their curious minds were buzzing with questions…
The big question this week was …
Does gas weigh anything?
This got us all debating so, we did what we do best and set out to find out the answer (which of course involved some very Scientific singing and dance moves too!)
We made our predictions, and also predicted which drink we thought was the fizziest.
We weighed three bottles of pop (Coke, diet lemonade and sparkling water) before shaking them as much as could to get those particles moving. We then had the tense moment of trying to open the lid enough to let the carbon dioxide escape without letting any liquid spill out! After repeating this several times, and having lots of giggles along the way, we weighed them again…
Place your predictions and then ask them what they found out!
