1st grade Investigates Properties of Solids

In our new unit 1st graders are exploring the properties of matter.  We are starting by observing and describing how 7 different objects look, feel and sound.


The block sounds loud when it's tapped on the table and the triangle
sounds "flicky".


The fabric is blue and soft.

The screw is hard and rough.

The popsicle stick is straight and so it the screw.



Next, we played a sorting game where partners choose two solids that share the same property - flexible, rigid, hard, soft, rough, smooth, transparent or opaque.

The triangle and the popsicle stick are both
both opaque.

The triangle and the wire are both flexible.

The fabric and the wire are both flexible and smooth.
