This is another fun experiment using common treats to explain how solids, liquids and gases work! We used root beer and ice cream to do this experiment. In a clear plastic cup so that we can see reactions and the three properties of matter occur, we poured a small amount of root beer into the glass to show that liquids take the shape of the their container. Next, we put a scoop of ice cream in to the glass to show that the solid kept its shape no matter the container it is put in. Then, the bubbles that rose to the top of the cup, is to show that gases are also present. The students loved seeing the 3 different states work together in one cup and also enjoyed eating the root beer float afterwards!
Cool experiment! I bet the students would find this very interesting!

ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome example of an experiment that demonstrates solids, liquids and gasses! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteChelsea! I love that you put the classroom layout on your blog, and the experiments look fun and engaging! Who doesn't want to make a rootbeer float and melt crayons?! Super entertaining/educational for students... Or me, haha. :) Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis is a simple, yet fun experiment that students will love! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteGreat experiment, Chelsea! I've never seen this one before but it demonstrates the topic well.
