Ooblek Observations

Have you ever wondered why there are only 4 phases of matter here on earth? (name 4 that you see in this photo of my backyard.)

Wouldn’t life be more exciting if there were more versions of the “stuff” here?

The King of Didd sure did… (listen to the story of Ooblek and think about phases of matter)

For the rest of the story, you’ll have to read the book…
