Do you need some FUN science activities to do before Winter Break or Christmas Vacation? These FOUR Christmas science labs are engaging, educational, and the most fun your students will have this year! Easy hands-on, engaging experiments leave kids excited and motivated to learn all about the properties of matter! Students will learn about solids, liquids, gases, floating and sinking, properties of matter, and changing properties. Emphasis is placed on how matter changes from one form to another. Learning posters, science vocabulary, teacher directions, and close reading with questions are included.
