Solids, liquids and Gases – more ‘Water Cycle’ science

This week we have been learning more about water. We learned that water can come in three forms – solid (ice/snow), liquid (regular water) and as a gas (water vapour).

We had hands on experience with the three forms (well, almost all three….we had to pretend that air was water vapour!)

We also met ‘Mr Freeze’ and experimented with his ‘life cycle’ 🙂 he started as a solid, then the heat energy in the classroom and from our hands (!) started to turn him into a liquid. He got several holes in his ‘clothes’ and he had to be carried in a jug for the rest of the day. This morning, he had completely melted and was now a liquid. His ‘clothes’ were put into the bin and he was poured out onto the concrete outside. Later on, we hope he will have evaporated and changed into water vapour (gas) to start his life all over again in the water cycle.
