This half term in Science we have been looking at solids, liquids and gases. We have been learning about the three different states of matter. We found an amazing song called Matter Chatter on YouTube. We have been looking at changing states – freezing things, melting things and combining different states of matter.

On Thursday we had an experiment where we combined a solid with a liquid to create a gas. Everyone got their official lab coats on ready to be scientists! We had two experiments one was combining, in a bottle, water and Alker Seltzer tablets with a balloon on the top of the bottle. The reaction let off a gas that filled up the balloon!

The other experiment was, in a zip lock bag, combining white vinegar with baking soda and this created a reaction that puffed up the bag like a pillow! We all had so much fun doing the experiments.
