Water...solid, liquid, gas experiment






On Thursday we all took turns putting water and small toys into a bin. At the end of the day we put it outside. We made predictions about what would happen to the water when it froze that night (just like in a freezer). Friday morning we brought the bin in and it was full of ice, water's solid state. We observed it melting over an hour or so and noted that it had returned to its liquid state. We also worked with ice cubes in shaving cream. We felt how cold they were and as we played with them they melted in our hands. Next week we'll observe water in its gaseous state. Our science fair project is so much fun!
