Last week Mrs. Studebaker’s Inquisitive students used Froot Loops to represent molecules and experimented with creating Homemade Lava Lamps! This was a fun way to conclude their science lesson on Properties and States of Matter. The students learned some really great vocabulary words in this unit including: solids, liquids, gasses, property, matter, hypothesis, molecules, translucent, transparent and opaque. The students all got to take home their very own lava lamps to show their parents all they’ve learned.
