What's the Matter?


Last week was a treat. Not only did we get to test two more ice cream recipes, we also had a neat opportunity to do an impromptu reader's theater on the states of matter. The students are really engaged in this science unit. Shruti Balla brought in a book and taught us about the fourth state of matter ~ plasma.  In addition, other students like Vedant, Cameron, Kriti, and Nandini are finding non-fiction texts that support these concepts to share with the class. It is like 'matter is everywhere!' Way to go 2nd grade!

Thank you Dominick and Akalbir for sharing your ice cream dishes. They both are worthy of mass production!

Thank you also to Mrs. Rolls who created an amazing reader's theater script for us to follow a water molecule from the artic to the tropic. This kinesthetic and fun activity helped us 'solidify' our understanding of the states of matter.
