So this week was sort of a transition week -- did H for Halloween & saving I for Indian & needed to cover G. I came up with G is for gas, liquid, & solids to have a break from fall crafts & get creative with how to cover the subject. With it also being election week, I educated the crazies on the candidates & talked about what it means to vote. They decorated some "Future Voter" badges & apparently it all resignated with them because even over the weekend Kennedy was asking about "Ronnie". We did lots of melting & freezing & cooking to demonstrate the 3 phases of matter. I found some great worksheets on education.com that helped Deacon learn about it all. It was a fun way to fit in election discussion as well as have a break between Halloween & Thanksgiving!
They both colored one Presidential Candidate information sheet & learned who was running
We made our own "Future Voter" badges & they sported them proudly -- D wanted to know how many more years he has until he is 18 : )
The worksheets full of pictures of gas, solid, & liquid made it easier for D to learn it all
We made our own freeze pops to teach how liquid could turn into solid... & of course they were eager to eat them when they were frozen!
We enjoyed them with some friends we had over for a playdate
K getting her fix!
Of course I used water to show the ice, water, & steam -- I love how into it K is!!
I took a tupperware container & froze it solid with some of Deacon's army things in it...
And he chiseled it all out... again, we did this while some friends were over.
And when they got one out, it was like finding gold each time! This went on for about an hour!
And we made rice crispy treats to show the marshmallows going from solid to liquid.
