As a homeschooling mom, I want to give my children the best education possible. I want to give them hands-on experiences that will not only help them to learn important material, but that will also produce memories that last a life time. Sometimes though, I struggle with figuring out how to make certain topics and/or subjects not so dry and actually fun for them. Science was one of those areas for me. I LOVE science, but my children didn’t naturally share my enthusiasm. When I set out in their elementary years to try to teach them about States of Matter, they seemed pretty bored…until I introduced some fun states of matter science experiments.
Trying to teach your kids about the states of matter can be kind of difficult for them to comprehend. Sometimes the best way to learn is by doing a hands-on activity that can show them these concepts in action! While you can observe as water becomes evaporated or watch rain turn to ice, sometimes the weather isn’t in your favor. For those times when you want to teach your kids about the states of matter, you can’t go wrong with a science experiment!
