Science - Liquids and Solids

Our new topic in Science is seperating liquids and solids. This week we introduced the children to liquids and solids through fun, practical activities. The children had the chance to sort actual liquids and solids, write down as many liquids and solids as they could think of and even become Oompa Lumpas in a mixing experiment - mixing liquids and solids together. But the best activity was left until the end of the lesson - playing with the 'gloop'. All the children had the chance to feel the gloop with their hands and they soon realised the 'gloop' had magical properties! It started off as a solid and then changed to a liquid and even went back to a solid. The children had great fun as you can tell by the pictures!!
