Matter Matters By:Katie and Maeve

Matter Matters
By:Katie and Maeve

Today, our class did an experiment not knowing what it was about. We had to create an object that could float on water and travel without us touching it. Most groups figured out that if you made a sail with the limited resources we had,such as styrofoam trays,popsicle sticks,tape,straws,tin foil,a balloon,and wax paper,it could glide across the water easily. All of the groups made a boat. After the experiment, we had a big group discussion about the experiment we had. Mrs.Greazel told us that we were learning about matter. The crazy thing is that some of our 6th grade siblings are learning about matter too!!:D After that we found out that this was about matter, we learned that matter came in 3 different forms. They are solids,liquids,and gasses. We learned so much about matter. Matter always matters!!!!
