Matter

We had such a wonderful learning experience on Monday when the Discover Museum of Acton came to our school. Mrs. Harris was terrific and we learned so much about matter. Take a peek at us and ask us to tell you what is happening in each picture. It was amazing!

3 States of Matter
What's Matter

Disciplinary Core Ideas

PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter

• Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties. (2-PS1-1)
• Different properties are suited to different purposes. (2-PS1-2),(2-PS1-3)
• A great variety of objects can be built up from a small set of pieces. (2-PS1-3)

PS1.B: Chemical Reactions

• Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed. Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not. (2-PS1-4)

I'll leave you with this joke:
Why shouldn’t you ever trust an atom?
Because they make up everything!
