A Few Fun Clips From Freedom Week and a word about our recitation of the Declaration of Independence
A Peek Inside Our Science Lesson on Solids, Liquids and Gasses
Molecules in a gas have lots of space to move, and they move very quickly.
Molecules in a solid are very close together, and it is hard to move!
Molecules in a liquid have more room to move, and they take on the shape of their container.
Science Buddies Begin!! A Men's White T-Shirt is Needed By This Thursday for our first Science Buddy Lab!!
This Friday, we will be making our "lab coats" with our science buddies. Because we are studying mixtures and solutions, we will be using chromatography to create lab coats with our buddies. Kids will need to bring in a men's white t-shirt by Thursday. Please feel free to recycle dad's oldest white t-shirt for this project!!!! We are not expecting new shirts to be used for this. Worn and loved works great for this lab.
Check out these pairs!!! I will post a few groups every week. Stay tuned!
