We have begun our study of matter after an exciting journey through the periodic table. To kick off our unit, we have started a wallwisher highlighting the changing states of ice. Please feel free to add to our wall! Over the next couple of weeks, I plan on adding some animations and digital posters highlighting what the kids have been doing. So, stay tuned for more!
