Hello everyone! This week in Year 4, we had a fantastic time exploring the states of matter in our science lessons. We’ve been learning all about solids, liquids, and gases — what makes them different and how they can change under the right conditions. But to make it really fun, we added a bit of magic: a small sponge that transformed into a dinosaur!
What We Learned:
Through this fun experiment, we learned that when some materials, like sponges, absorb water, they change their size and shape. The sponge is still a solid, but the addition of water allows it to expand. It reminded us of how matter can change when we add or take away other things (like heat or water).
