The next topic that we will be covering in our Summer Camp is matter! We will discuss the states of matter and their characteristics, as well as how they can go through physical changes such as sublimation, condensation, evaporation, freezing, boiling, and melting. We will be creating a slime-like substance, which is in a liquid state but becomes solid when touched.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- 1 bowl
- 1 spoon - 1/2 cup of cornstarch - 1/4 cup water HOW TO
Step 1: In a bowl, add 1/2 cup of cornstarch.
Step 2: Slowly start mixing the water into the cornstarch. Add a little bit at a time to make sure it does not become too runny. Step 3: Now take the oobleck into your hands and feel it solidify, and change between the states of matter. THE LESSON
In this lesson of our Summer Camp, we will be learning about the different states of matter and their characteristics. We will go into depth of how they can go through physical changes such as sublimation, condensation, evaporation, freezing, boiling, and melting. We will be creating oobleck which is a slime-like substance, which is in a liquid state but becomes solid when touched. This practical application of seeing the states of matter change helps children combine creativity with their thinking skills. You can find our science concepts and craft explanations in the presentation below!
