We have spent the last couple of weeks learning about states of matter. Once we learned what solids, liquids, and gasses are, it was time to explore and observe!

| We observed what happened to crayons when they spent the day in the crock pot. It was a great example of chemical changes! The kids were really excited that the crayons turned back into crayons when they cooled. |

| You might have wondered what root beer floats have to do with anything academic :) They are a great example of all three states of matter! The ice cream is a solid (until it melts), the root beer is a liquid, and when they are put together, they create a foam, which is an example of a gas. Apparently we were to busy to stop to take a photo of us making the actual treats, but here are examples of the project we did to go along with them. They wrote about what they observed on the back. |

| Yesterday we made ice cream! This demonstrates the chemical change of freezing. We had to move around a lot to help the ice cream freeze...and to keep from getting too cold from the ice! |
 |
| It was really tasty! |
