INTRODUCTION
 
   
01.- Classify these things into solids, liquids and gases.  
   
1.- Classify these things into solids, liquids and gases.  
   
2.- Remember!  
   
           
SOLIDS
 
   
1.- Observe, touch,… different solids and then complete the table below. Put a tick or a cross.  
     
2.- What do you imagine the structure that forms...... to be like?  
     
3.- Use the microscope to see the structure that forms…  
     
4.- We are going to grow crystals from the saturated solution. You already know what a sugar crystal is like, but after the experiment: What do you imagine a sugar crystal to be like? Bigger, smaller, the same colour, a different colour… Draw it and add measurements.  
     
5.- Let’s grow crystals.  
   
6.- Let's dilate a solid.  
   
7.- After observing, touching, imagining, drawing, measuring… the whole class is ready to define what a solid is.  
   
           
LIQUIDS
 
   
1.- Observe, touch,… different liquids and then complete the table below. Put a tick or a cross.  
   
2.- What do you imagine the structure that forms…... to be like?  
     
3.- Use the microscope to see the structure that forms…  
     
4.- Let's dilate a liquid, let's make a thermometer.  
   
5.- After observing, touching, imagining, drawing, measuring… the whole class is ready to define what a liquid is.  
   
           
GASES
 
   
1.- Observe, touch,… different gases and then complete the table below. Put a tick or a cross.  
   
2.- What do you imagine the structure that forms…... to be like?  
     
3.- Use the microscope to see the structure that forms…  
     
4.- Let's investigate if the air that we breath can be weighed.  
   
5.- We will compare the weight of the air in your classroom with your weight.  
   
6.- Can you compress a gas?  
   
7.- Let's dilate a gas.  
   
8.- After observing, touching, imagining, drawing, measuring… the whole class is ready to define what a gas is.

1.- You've seen an ice cube (solid water!) out of the freezer a lot of times.  
   
2.- Let's investigate solid and liquid water.  
   
3.- You've seen evaporation a lot of times.  
   
4.- You've seen boiling water a lot of times.  
   
5.- You've seen condensation a lot of times.  
   
6.- Let's investigate liquid water again.  
   
7.- Imagine...
