Learning About Matter in Science

We started our first science unit this week... learning about the properties of Matter.  Today we learned that everything in our world is made of matter.  We also learned that there are 3 states of matter - Solids, Liquids and Gases. (And yes, the connection between gases and farts was immediately made and the giggles were uncontrollable.  Haha.)  We also discovered that all matter, even gases, have mass and all matter takes up space.  We will soon dive deeper into what makes matter a solid or a liquid or a gas.  Throughout the unit, I will endeavour to provide lots of hands-on experiences so kids can understand the BIG ideas of matter.
