WHY DOES MATTER MATTER?

It seems like forever ago that we met our preschool buddies. Today we worked on a science project with them as they were learning the states of matter. We discussed different solids, liquids, and gases. To demonstrate how heat energy can change something from a liquid to a solid, we made pancake batter (5th graders were experts) and a parent turned them into a solid by cooking them up on the griddle. We also showed the preschoolers how our body heat can change ice to a a liquid while we listened to the book "IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A PANCAKE". To top things off, we enjoyed some delicious pancakes! :)
