FREE Properties of Water Sorting Cards

Part of our Weather Unit Study is learning about factors that affect weather, like water and temperature.  We discussed the 3 states of matter that water takes: solid, liquid and gas and that heat is needed in order for the change to happen.


To fully demonstrate this, we performed a simple water cycle experiment.  Mavi and I have done this years ago so it was exciting to do it again for Vito.  This experiment is so simple and requires minimal preparation.  I highly recommend this.  For details on how to perform this, click here (Water Cycle: All about Water).


As an extension, we worked on these sorting cards to learn more about the properties of water.  I have pictures of water in the form of solid: ice, icicles, snow and hail; liquid: drinking water, ocean, river and rain; gas: steam and clouds.



Here are some tips when using the cards:

• Talk about each picture as you sort them out according to their properties
• What makes it solid? liquid? and gas? 
• Provide real life examples like ice for solid, water for liquid and a humidifier/diffuser for gas
• Allow the child to touch/smell and observe the samples provided and ask the difference of each object/sample

I am happy to share with you our sorting cards so you can try this in your home and at school!
