We had our second science lab in class recently. In this science lab we learned about the different states of matter, especially liquids and solids. The children shared different things that are solid and things that are liquid. Just about everyone was able to come up with a solid thing or a liquid thing.
We used a recipe to get the correct measurements (science lab #1) to make a non-Newtonian fluid. This fluid can act as both a solid and a liquid depending on the amount of pressure applied to it - think quicksand.
After demonstrating how to work with a non-Newtonian fluid, most of the children couldn't wait to get their own hands into it!!
We took turns seeing how it felt and how it works. Some of the children could have played with it all day!
