States of Matter

P4/5 started their science IDL by looking at three different States of Matter. We role played atoms in a gas, a liquid and solid to support discussion about the properties of each. They then used this to sort different images into a solid, a liquid or a gas. There was a lot of confusion and good discussion around sand and sugar. Hopefully after the investigations, children will be able to say with confidence if sand/sugar is a solid or a liquid :)
