Today we will do a fun science experiment. This experiment will help you and your kids to learn a little bit about the 3 states of matter…solid, liquid and gas. Before you start the experiment talk with your child about what they think will happen to the ice cream and pop. See if they can tell you the three states of matter.

Items you will need;

*clear glass

*vanilla ice cream

*root beer pop

Steps for the experiment:

1. scoop out a nice size of vanilla ice cream and place it in the clear glass.
2. pour the root beer over the ice cream and watch what happens
3. eat your creation and then talk about the 3 states of matter

The ice cream is your solid.

The root beer is your liquid.

And when you pour the root beer over the ice cream, you have created the bubbles, which is the gas.

Now that your experiment is done, have your child write about what happened during the process. Hope you enjoyed this fun experiment. Stay safe and I miss you all.
