Science

2. Common Core Standards
S2CS5. Students will communicate scientific ideas and activities clearly. a. Describe and compare things in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion. b. Draw pictures (grade level appropriate) that correctly portray features of the thing being described.
S2P1. Students will investigate the properties of matter and changes that occur in objects. a. Identify the three common states of matter as solid, liquid, or gas
*NOTES FOR ACCOMMODATIONS* Students with disabilities will work with a paraprofessional.
English language learners will be partnered with a 'read aloud' partner.

5. Task
You will make OOBLECK today. Your job is to determine when the oobleck is considered a solid or liquid throughout the experiment : Solid or liquid? You decide!

6. Process: How do we figure it out?
You will complete a variety of explorations to help your determine and discover if oobleck is a solid or liquid. Begin by clicking on number 1.
