Everything around us is made up of matter. As an introduction to our unit on electricity, the children learned that matter:
*takes up space
*has weight
*can sink or float
*can be in different forms - solid, liquid, gas
*can change from one form to another - from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas
*can be "sensed" - hear, smell, feel, taste, see
Ask your child to name some matter around you!
P.S. What does matter have to do with electricity? Matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of electrons. The flow of electrons IS electricity!
