Can Matter Change Its State? - Frying Ice!

Today we investigated weather or not matter can change its state.

We heated up my old, black, cast iron frying pan on a hot plate and when it was good and hot, we dropped a block of ice in it.

We quickly discovered the answer to our question!

We had a good discussion about what it takes to change the state of matter - heat (thermal) energy and we referred to several interactive SmartBoard graphics for additional information.

Bird of the Week - Introduction

Welcome to the "Bird of the Week" segment of my science blog. There are 30 different birds that you can find in Reading that I want you to learn this year. Each week, I will post a picture of a different bird and information about it. I will also have a link you can click on so you can learn more information about the bird a well as seeing additional pictures of the bird and hearing its song.We will look for these birds in the Bird Garden where we have set up bird feeders. We will also look for these birds around the school and on field trips we take. I will also expect you to be on the lookout for them in your yard, neighborhood, and your daily travels. At the end of the school year, I would expect that you will know all 30 of these birds.
