Solids and Liquids

During the month of November first graders are studying about solids and liquids during our science/social studies theme time. Below are photos of students learning about the properties of solids, determining some solids that have these properties, and creating riddles for different solids using these properties as descriptors. Stay tuned for similar photos of the class working with liquids next week! Vocabulary words we have been working on so far include solid, liquid, gas, matter, mixture, solution, rigid, flexible, rough, smooth, soft, and hard. We will add words like viscous, transluscent, transparent, foamy, and bubbly next week when we focus more on liquids.
