Welcome back boys and girls! I hope that you had a wonderful long weekend and that you enjoyed every bit of the beautiful weather that we had! Since we are back to school tomorrow, I wanted you to have a look at a cool website that deals with the science topic that we are focusing on, properties of liquids and solids. If you click here you will be able to learn a little bit more about this topic.
**Instructions** (Parents, please help your child if he/she is having difficulty with searching on the website. It is greatly appreciated!!!)
When you get to the website, please go to the section that says "gases, liquids and solids". Click on the button that says "read", and then read both sections on liquids and solids. When reading about both I want you to concentrate on how liquids take the shape of the container they are in, and how change of temperature may change a solid. We will be learning more about this in class tomorrow!!
If you have some free time, there are also fun and exciting games on the website where you will be the scientist who changes liquids into solids, and solids into liquids!
Parents, the expectation for this lesson is for the children to describe the characteristics of liquid water ( e.g., it takes the shape of the container it is in) and solid water (e.g. ice floats), and identify the conditions that cause changes from one to the other (e.g., water turns to ice when the temperature goes below zero; ice turns to water when heated).
Can't wait to see you all in class tomorrow!
Ms. Lazarovic :)
