Science fun in Mrs. Georgia's class!
Students explored the Properties of Matter in a hands-on way. They began by comparing textures, hardness, color, and rigidity of different objects like pencils, nuts, tools, acorns, tissues, blankets, and even squishable fidgets.
Then, they dove into a sweet experiment with M&Ms, which they sorted by color, compared sizes, and discussed their texture, smell, and taste — discovering that all of these are characteristics of matter.
