1st Grade Looks at Liquids!

1st grade has been exploring the world of liquids!  They have investigated the different properties (foamy, bubbly, transparent, translucent, viscous, has color)of 6 different liquids: hand soap, colored water, dish soap, corn syrup, liquid starch and cooking oil.  We even have played liquid card games - memory and Go Fish!

All the liquids have color.

Students chose two liquids to investigate. They
drew the liquid and described how it looked,
sounded and one more additional observation.

The corn syrup barely moved it was so thick!

The green liquids are a favorite of most students. The colored
water makes a tornado when it is shaken and the dish soap has
so many air bubbles that the color changes to a lighter green when
shaken!

Looking at the level of the liquid when a bottle
is slowly turned upside down.

It can be tricky to get the angle right.

Once the levels are drawn, we looked at the levels to see if
we noticed anything surprising.

A big liquids memory game.
