Matter Unit

This week we began our matter unit in science.  We began to explore different solids, liquids and gases and defined what matter is.  The students were given several balloons filled with different substances.  Each child was asked to make a prediction about what they thought was inside the balloon (a solid, liquid or gas).  Then we opened them up and found out what was inside.  Two balloons had gases inside of them and the rest are pictured below:
