Science Project

In Science, Casie and I are studying Matter. You know - solids, liquids and gases. Our book showed ice as an example which made it very clear to us but we thought it would be fun to do the experiment ourselves. I think it helps Casie to make sense of things when she can do hands on experiments. Anyway, we are documenting the experiment here for all to see.

Ice is a solid. The particles are tightly bound in a tight pattern and don't move much.

As it melts it becomes a liquid. The particles become loser and flexible, moving past eachother easily.

When you heat it up (slowly in nature or quickly in mom's skillet) it becomes steam which is a gas. The particles are now very refined and jump about rapidly.
