ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 Move Like a State of Matter | Science Song for Kids | Solid, Liquid, Gas
Get ready to have some fun and learn about the different states of matter! We are going to move and groove while we discover what solids, liquids, and gases are. Are you ready? Let’s go!
First, let’s move our arms and hands like a waterfall. Can you do it? A waterfall is a liquid because it flows and moves around.
Now, stand up straight and tall like a flagpole. A flagpole is a solid because it keeps its shape and doesn’t move around easily.
Wiggle your fingers up high like water vapor. Water vapor is a gas because it spreads out and fills the air.
Let’s roll our arms around like a wheel. A wheel is a solid because it is strong and keeps its shape.
Take a deep breath in and blow out the air. The air you blow out is a gas because it moves around and fills the space around you.
Imagine you are pushing piles of dirt like a bulldozer. A bulldozer is a solid because it is big and strong.
Let’s pretend to surf and ride the waves in the ocean. The ocean is a liquid because it moves and flows.
Chug-chug choo-choo like a train. A train is a solid because it is heavy and keeps its shape.
Every day, look around you and think: Is it a solid, a liquid, or a gas? Remember, solids keep their shape, liquids flow, and gases spread out everywhere!
Keep exploring and have fun learning about the world around you!
Solid, Liquid, or Gas Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Find three items that are solids, two that are liquids, and one that is a gas. Draw a picture of each item and label them. Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why each item is a solid, liquid, or gas.
Make a Matter Collage: Gather old magazines or newspapers and cut out pictures of different objects. Create a collage by gluing the pictures onto a piece of paper. Group the pictures into three sections: solids, liquids, and gases. Discuss with a partner why you placed each picture in its section.
Experiment with Water: Fill a small cup with water and place it in the freezer. After a few hours, check to see what has happened to the water. Discuss with an adult or classmate how the water changed from a liquid to a solid. Then, leave the cup out in a warm place and observe what happens as it returns to a liquid. Talk about how temperature can change the state of matter.
