Changing Matter

This week our second graders have started a new unit in science where they get to learn how matter can change. In order to begin this unit, students were given the opportunity to experiment with a few different objects as they worked together to change matter. Given toothpicks, toilet paper rolls, paper, glue, tape, scissors, pipe cleaners, straws, popsicle sticks, and coffee filters, students created something new. The only thing that students were told were that they needed to utilize all of the materials that were given to them in order to create a new structure.


























It was interesting to notice that each group of students created a totally different structure throughout this activity. Students enjoyed working together in order to create this new structure as they changed matter around to make something new. Good job second graders!
