Last week, our students made orange-flavored popsicles as part of our nonfiction procedural writing unit. We learned that as writers of procedural books, it is important to write out the steps and instructions as clearly as possible so that our readers can really understand what we are trying to teach them. Through this popsicle-making activity, many of the kids reflected and noticed that this is a change in states of matter phenomenon. Liquid freezes into solid when it is below 0 degrees Celsius. And in some cases, when some solids, like our popsicles, are exposed to heat, they melt and turn back into a liquid.Our scientists will continue to study the properties of matter in the next week, and understanding how solids, liquids, and gases behave and change in different situations.
