VIRTUAL Preschool Summer Series: Water and the 3 States of Matter

Join the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s education staff from home via Zoom to learn about water and the three states of matter!

First, we will read from Change it! Solids, Liquids, Gases and You! Then, we will learn how molecules act in each state with a movement-based game. Finally, we will create paintings with ice cubes! Recommended for ages 3-6.

This is an ONLINE class hosted on the Zoom platform. Once you have booked a ticket, you will be sent a link to access the class by the organizer.

Additional Details:

To prepare for the craft in this program, you will want to use food coloring to dye a few cups of water a few different colors – I usually do blue, green, red, and yellow if possible. Then, you will pour the colored water into ice cube trays and freeze them to make colored ice cubes. If possible, stick a straw or popsicle stick in each cube before freezing so each cube has a ‘handle.” Otherwise, participants can just hold the cubes with a paper towel while they are painting to avoid getting the colors on their hands. If you don’t have food coloring, juices like cranberry and orange juice should work, though not as well. For the cubes to be in the perfect condition for “painting,” you can take them out of the freezer about 5 minutes before the start of class. Participants will also need paper to paint on, and you may want to have the paper sit on a tray to avoid making a mess.

Cost: $4
