Now that second graders have officially defined a solid and examined the many different types of properties solids can have, we've ventured on to liquids!
What makes a liquid a liquid? Well, it takes the shape of its container, of course. Oh! And it's wet!
Second graders are investigating seven different mystery liquids. Knowing what they liquids are is NOT important, but understanding that their properties are unique just like solids are is the key! Their first two tests involve identifying the liquids' colors and their ability to transmit light through them (opaque/translucent/transparent). They'll be creating their own tests soon to determine NEW properties of liquids. How cool!
