Water, Ice, and Steam: Exploring States of Matter

Today, we’re exploring states of matter with water, ice and steam!

With all the ice and snow we’ve gotten recently, Alexie has been asking lots of questions about ice. So, we decided to show her how ice, water and steam are all the same thing.

This is such a simple experiment to do with kids. It’s super inexpensive and the kids can touch and play with everything (well except for the steam of course). It’s fun, hands-on and such a great way to explore states of matter with little kids.

Alexie really got into this activity and loved getting to hold the ice cubes and touch the water. She even liked watching the water boil in the kettle. It was very education experiement and one I’m sure we’ll do again.
