Each Tuesday during the month of January Mr. Prazar will be visiting our classroom to teach us about Matter. During his first visit, the class learned that matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Mr. Prazar explained that the class will be focusing on three types of matter-solids, liquids and gases. He led a guided discussion to help the children discover some properties of each state.
 |
| The children did the "Molecule Dance" to learn how molecules move in solids, liquids and gases. On his second visit, Mr. Prazar brought the Water Olympics to our class. The children were very excited to participate in these hands-on activities. |
 |
| How many drops of water can you place on a penny? Some of us were able to get over 30 drops of water on a penny! |
 |
| Can you balance a paper clip on the surface of the water? It's harder then you think! One student was able to balance 4 paper clips! |
 |
| How many pennies can you add to a cup before it overflows? Most of us were able to add over 40 pennies. |
 |
| Can you move a drop of water along a maze? |
 |
| Which material will stick to the cup the longest? We used an index card, cardboard, a laminated sheet and a piece of wood. |
