Scientist Shirley from SCWIST came in for a visit today!
She talked about the three states of matter and the different types of chemical and physical changes that can occur in many items we are familiar with.
We were excited to engage in a messy, hands-on activity that tested the question:
“Can something be both a solid and a liquid at the same time?” YES!
We learned of Non-Newtonian fluids … and we made one today! (This fluid can behave like both a liquid and a solid depending on how much pressure is applied).
