We first compared the differences between how the liquid and solid filled a cup as well as their movement; spacial awareness.  ]]> 2021-05-23 17:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1551595313 w5vtzj799c https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1551600171 While the children observed the melting process, I had them discuss their observations and had a class discussion where we created a drawing on the white board of what they were seeing. ]]> 2021-05-23 17:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1551600171 w5vtzj799c https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1551617023 A few future learning opportunities for this activity could include the addition of the gas state by showing the children steam, as well as having the children melt ice that has objects frozen into it with warm water. ]]> 2021-05-23 17:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1551617023 w5vtzj799c https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1551621791 2021-05-23 18:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1551621791 w5vtzj799c https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1559438658 Some of the learning foundation connections utilized include: 
Scientific Inquiry-- Observation and Investigation and Compare and contrast objects and events and begin to describe similarities and differences (CDE, 2012, p. 61-64).
Physical Science-- Properties and Characteristics of Nonliving Objects and Materials and Observe, investigate, and identify the characteristics and physical properties of objects and of solid and nonsolid materials (size, weight, shape, color, texture, and sound) (CDE, 2012, p. 69). 
Changes in Nonliving Objects and Materials-- Demonstrate awareness that objects and materials can change; explore and describe changes in objects and materials (rearrangement of parts; change in color, shape, texture, temperature) (CDE, 2012, p. 71)]]> 2021-05-25 22:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/w5vtzj799c/1505cv61p24ek7nn/wish/1559438658
