Changing Matter


Last week in science, we began exploring how matter can be changed physically.  We started by taking a piece of paper and changing it.  Some of us folded our paper.  Some of us cut (or ripped) it.  We found that no matter which we did, it was still a solid.  While we were in the lab we used one of our favorite apps, PicCollage to record what our paper looked like before and after we changed it.  

The next day, when it was time to share our learning, students learned how to use the Reflector app to sync their iPad with our Macbook.  We were able to have several iPads up at one time and students could compare and contrast the way we changed our matter.  

We are learning a great deal about states of matter and having the iPads in our room adds to the excitement.
