Class 9 have continued their learning on States of Matter. Today we looked at cooling and decreasing the temperature. We took the classrom temperature and then put the thermometer in to icy water with ice and saw the temperature decrease (go down) to nearly negative numbers. we talked about when the temperature decreases then the particles in the state slow down and contract. We then blew up balloons to different sizes and submerged them into cold icy water. We watched and observed the balloons getting smaller as the gas particles slowed down and contracted. Next week we are looking at heating and seeing how solids, liquids and gases respond.
