Solids, Liquids and Gases, Oh My!

Our class has just started a unit on Matter. Over the next few weeks we will be conducting experiments to learn all about solids, liquids and gases. Yesterday students worked in their science journals. 
After reading a book about Matter, kids wrote definitions for each state of matter and drew pictures to show an example. 

In the afternoon we conducted an experiment to find out what happens when you put an ice cube in warm water. The kids are learning to write lab reports, just like real scientists! 
We discovered that the ice melted and the water got cooler. The heat from the water caused the ice (solid) to turn into water (a liquid).
