Unit: Properties of Matter

• Solids have a definite shape.
• Liquids and gases take the shape of their container.
• Solids, liquids and gases have different properties.
• In the water cycle, we can see the different states of matter.

The States of Matter- Solids, Liquids and Gases

 

Watch to review the states of matter.

 

Liquids

Liquids are fluids that take the shape of the container in which they are poured. Check the picture below to see how liquids can be classified.	Watch the video with our expert, Albin, who will help you identify the liquids and their properties.

 

Solids

Solids are objects that have a definite shape. The table below shows other properties that solids have.

 

The Water Cycle

Evaporation-Condensation-Precipitacion-Accumulation

 

Watch these videos to review the states of matter in the water cycle. Dance along!

Students in 1-305 created their own version of the water cycle during OT Time with Ms. Olmo

 

Make sure to check our bulletin board outside of the classroom to learn more about the water cycle.

 

 

 

 

Ms. Olmo our occupational therapist works on a class project every week. We recently explored erosion! Students built mountains and valleys and observed the effects of erosion as a "storm" approached.
