WHAT EXACTLY IS A SOLID, LIQUID AND A GAS?


Classifying Solids, Liquids, and Gases
We have been exploring how we can classify solids, liquids and gases. The students were able to explore the classroom is search of solids, liquids and gases. Then we came back together as a class and discussed why they picked an object and how they classified an object as a solid, liquid or gas.  Many of the students had a hard time choosing classifying something in the classroom that is a gas.  In the end they labeled the following as a gas: air purifier (the air that is given off), the air conditioner (air that is given off), and the air within the classroom. Some of the solids that the students chose around the room are: desks, floor, wall, books, bookshelves, white board and chairs.  Some of liquids they chose are: water from the water bottles, and water from the jug.
