Science Matters

I wrapped up my States of Matter and Chemical Change Unit with a day of science at the park. A swimming pool was filled with Oobleck, and the students walked on it. Oh boy, did they have fun with this! It took about 75 boxes to fill a small pool.

 My students loved playing in a big tub of Oobleck, too!

They also took  a trip to the Chemical Change Cafe and enjoyed some pancakes. I read the Eric Carle book, Pancakes, Pancakes, Pancakes. Then students mixed up their own pancake batter and had to determine whether or not it was a chemical change.

Here's a states of matter foldable I made with my students. Click {HERE} or the picture for a copy.
As you can see, it has been a busy week. Totally worth it, but I'm exhausted! This post is going to be short and sweet because I need a nap:)


VERSION 2: One my readers asked for a fold-able with the 4th state of matter. I don't teach this in 4th grade but didn't mind making a new version. I'm not sure if the pictures are the best representation, and I'm open to new suggestions. It is fairly easy to  make simple changes to my printable, and I don't mind requests. I'm always happy to hear constructive criticism. By the way, my printers not working so I couldn't check it out in print. Let me know if it needs some tweaking.   Click {HERE} or the picture for this version.

But one more thing first. With this post, I have completed Charity Preston's 5 Star Blog Challenge.  Check out her post and find some great new blogs to follow.
