Properties of Solids and Liquids

We observed some of the properties of solids and liquids today. We looked at: fruit punch powerade, grape powerade, water, cotton balls, puffs, and graham crackers. The properties we were discussing today were volume, color, texture, shape, and temperature. The students were to organize their data into a table, observe the different properties, and record their data. They did great! They made the connection that both solids and liquids can have a color, but they differ in the fact that solids have a definite shape and liquids don't.

David and Delali recording the volume of a liquid.
Micah determining the temperature of a liquid.
David's data chart that he created! LOVE it!!
