LIQUIDS, SOLIDS, AND GASES! OH MY!

Parents,


This week in class we are learning to identify a liquid, solid, and gas. Your child has learned to successfully identify the difference between a liquid, a solid, and a gas. This is the TEKS that we are using for this portion of our class:
(7) Science concepts. The student knows that matter has physical properties.
The student is expected to:

(B) identify matter as liquids, solids, and gases.




Here are some fun websites to visit to reinforce the concepts we have been learning in class.

  • This game, Solid, Liquid, or Gas (original I know, but fun!) your child has to get the farmer across the river by selecting the right form of a solid, liquid, or gas. This website also has levels, so as your child progresses he or she can move up a level.

  • This website gives instructions for a super fun activity you can have your child do while you cook or clean or even eat! Scavenger Hunt is a great way to remind your child that we see different forms of solids, liquids, and gases in our everyday life!

  • This is a fun website that will give your child a great visual of what a solid, liquid, or gas might look like. It is an informational website that asks no questions. States of Matter is a great website for you to share with your child!
