Dear Parents,
In science class, we are learning about the physical properties of matter, which is part of our science TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills). Your child is learning to observe and record changes in states of matter caused by the addition or reduction of heat. The three states of matter we are studying are: Liquids, Solids, and Gases.
Below are a few Internet Sites that you and your child can explore together.
What is Matter? Here you will be able to read about the three states of matter and their properties. The following is another great site to learn more about Solids, Lquids, and Gases.
Below is poem I found that I think you will like...
Magic Water (H2O)
When water freezes, or water boils, it gets a different name,
It turns to ice, It turns to steam
But it's water just the same!
At this next site, Changing State, you will be able to see what happens to water as it is cooled and heated.
Lets experiment even more with Liquids and Gases!! This site provides a great activity for you to categorize items, that we use and see just about everyday, as either a solid, liquid,or gas.
