Discovering Solids and Liquids

First graders   learned the properties of solids and liquids by carrying out different experiments.  Concerning solids, students sorted out different solids by shape and measured their length by ruler.
According to liquids, students poured water in different containers deducing that liquids don’t have a definite shape. Moreover they measured the volume of water using a measuring cup.
Students learned about the solubility property, by experimenting what dissolves in water. They also learned that some matter floats and another sinks.
