In our second science lab, we learned all about two of the states that matter can take - solid and liquid. The children were very attentive and we have discussed solids and liquids everyday since this lab.
I'm sure all of the children would agree the best part of the lab was when we made our own Non-Newtonian liquid. This is a mixture that can act both like a liquid and a solid depending on how fast a solid piece of matter moves through it - like quicksand. The children loved getting their hands dirty and turning the mixture into a solid and then watching it turn back into a liquid. Hands on is a great way for children to learn.
