  1. What makes a polymer? A lesson on the states of matter

  2. Aim: Can you create a different state of matter by mixing two liquids together?

  3. Yes or No • 1. What do you think? • Press Y for Yes. • Press N for No. • Choose your answer.

  4. What are the three states of matter? • water, wood, and wind • liquid, solid, and gas • soda, pencil, and oxygen

  5. Make a Hypothesis Now make a hypothesis based on this question with your partner: What will happen when the two mixtures are combined?

  6. Now for the experiment!We will need the following materials:1. Borax2. Glue3. Water4. Popsicle Stick (for mixing)5. a bowl

  7. Procedure, Step 1 (the directions, duh!) 1. Measure ¼ cup of water and ¼ cup of white glue. Now mix them together with the popsicle stick! • Now, discuss with your partner what you observe when mixing two liquids.

  8. Step 2 2. Measure 1/3 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of Borax. Stir with the popsicle stick until the Borax dissolves. • Discuss with your partner what happened to the solid when it was mixed with the liquid.

  9. Step 3 3. Next, pour the glue mixture into the Borax mixture. Stir the two mixtures together. • Discuss what you are observing with your partner.

  10. Step 4 4. Remove the glue mixture from the bowl. Knead the glue mixture together for two minutes. Watch the clock!

  11. Step 5 5. Observe the material. What state of matter would you classify the material as?

  12. What state of matter would you classify the material as? • Gas • Liquid • Solid • All of the above

  13. Record Your Observations • Pull out your science notebook. Record what you learned about the three states of matter.

  14. Rate this lesson. • On a scale from 1 to 5, how fun was this lesson? • 1 means: I hated it! • 2 means: I did not like! • 3 means: I did not care either way. • 4 means: I liked the lesson. • 5 means: Gimme more, awesome!
