Description

Bridging research and practice, FOSS Third Edition Modules engage students and teachers in enduring experiences that lead to deeper understanding of science and engineering concepts, as well as the natural and designed world. The Solids and Liquids Module for Grades 1 to 2 provides opportunities for students to observe, describe properties and behaviors of solids and liquids, as well as engage in scientific and engineering practices. Students will observe that matter exists in three fundamental states: solid, liquid, and gas

In the FOSS Third Edition The Solids and Liquids Complete Kit with 4 hands-on investigation activities, students will: investigate and sort objects based on their properties; observe, describe, and compare the properties and behaviors of solids and liquids; record observations with pictures, numbers, and words; recognize the properties of solid materials that make them appropriate for tower construction; build towers; combine and separate solid materials of different particle sizes using tools; observe, describe, and record what happens when solids and water are mixed and when liquids and water are mixed; use knowledge to conduct an investigation on an unknown material (toothpaste); and observe and describe changes when solids and liquids are heated and cooled.
