Today we learned about the states of matter and compared and contrasted them. We experimented changing water to vapor (increasing its temperature) and felt it condense on our hands and in a container. We also experimented to find out about density (how close together are particles of matter). We used corn syrup, corn oil, and water. We saw the difference in density and then dropped three items in: we found that the more dense the item, the lower it sank. The paper clip sank below the syrup, the rubber piece floated above the water but sank to the bottom of the oil, and the Styrofoam floated to the top of the oil. Clearly, the foam was the least dense of all the liquids and solids we used. Enjoy the pictures:)
