Matter

3 States of Matter
solid: has a definite shape and definite volume
liquid: has NO definite shape and definite volume
gas: has NO definite shape and NO definite volume

We were able to identify the freezing points of mystery substances.



Play this game and take the quiz to practice you states of matter!


Discover the different melting and freezing points of different materials other than water. 


Electricity

Circuits
Today in Science Lab, students were able to create a circuit to light a light bulb and/or power a motor. 
Students drew diagrams and model to represent what they did today . 



 

Here is some extra practice to experiment with circuits. 
        
Conductors and Insulators
In Science Lab we also experimented with conductors and insulators. 
Conductors: allows electricity to flow through it. 
Insulators: does NOT allow electricity to flow through it. 
Students tested a variety of materials to see which one was a conductor and which one was an insulator. 


 

Here is a fun online game to test more materials to see if they are conductors or insulators.
