We learned about a third attribute of matter, particles! Part two of our discussion will discuss how liquid, gas and solid particles have different strengths of attraction between the molecules.
The kids loved part one of the lesson.
Blowing air into soapy water. Think of it air packages of air particles.
Going outside and gathering dirt and how small particles of dirt are even smaller (if we had a microscope we could go deeper).
Filing a rock to show sand particles.
Adding dirt to water to see the particles in the water and also smearing the dirt on a white piece of paper to see the particles.
They had a lot of fun getting wet, blowing bubbles and digging in the dirt.
God my kids have it good:) Amen we get to do stuff like this.
This month has been hard for me, so we are going a bit slower, just keeping up with Math and also reading more books when I have time. The kids really do love it. I can't recommend enough how important it is to read to your children.
Peace
