As a class we can agree on the following as solids: rock, rubberband, feather, cloth, foam rubber ball, sponge, wood, iron nail, and ice
Let's focus our discussion on baby powder, dust, sugar, flour, and melting wax.
Some of our class think they are solid and some think they are liquid. Chose a side and try to convince us with facts. If you comment, your comments need to be more than "I agree"
I really liked the discussion last night and I am hoping that tonight is EVEN better!
News FLASH>> We are still undecided about smoke. If you can find evidence I will give tickets!

Melting wax and baby powder are most likley luiqid but the others are probly soilids, but I'm
ReplyDeletenot sure!
I agree with you Kaitlyn that melting wax and baby powder are most likely liquid because it isn't hard,its most likely soft, and light. I'm not sure how to describe it but yeah!
ReplyDeleteHave you consitered that baby powder,dust,flour,and sugar are solids because even in powder there is litte solid grams.Melting wax is a liquid because melting wax can take shape of an object.
ReplyDeleteYa, I agree with Claire because the little grains in the powder and sugar which make is a solid. right?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Claire.A. because I think baby powder , dust, flower,and sugar are solids because even though they take a shape of an object they are not like water and they are not like a gas. I think melting wax is a liqued because it is not a solid or a gas.
ReplyDeleteI dont think dust is a solid, but I agree with the others that they are a solids.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with claire because I think that baby powder is a solid and that melting wax is a liquid because it is runny. But when it dries it turn into a solid though because it hardens
ReplyDeleteHey guys -- here is something I just found on the web. Looks like a cloud is a liquid, not a gas.
ReplyDelete"Clouds, snow, and rain are all made of up of some form of water. A cloud is comprised of tiny water droplets and/or ice crystals, a snowflake is an aggregate of many ice crystals, and rain is just liquid water."
I think baby powder, dust, sugar, and flour are all solids.
ReplyDeletehey Yaser
ReplyDeleteI think the only thang that is not a solid is melting wax
ReplyDeleteI think baby powder, dust, sugar, and flour are solids, but melting wax is a liquid.
ReplyDeleteI think that is wright
ReplyDeleteI found out that clouds are liqid not solid

ReplyDelete.
Your welcome Angela.:)
ReplyDeleteI get it now even though baby powder, dust, and flour do not act like solids they still are because they still have little bits of solids in them.
ReplyDeleteWhy whould clouds be a liquid not a gas?
ReplyDeleteI think that clouds are part liquid and part gas because clouds have liquid in them and gas in them. How else would it rain if liquid water wasn't in them?
ReplyDeleteI agree with nicole because it could not rain with out water in the air.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Dylan! Clouds are not gas
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteClouds are liquid that is how it rains.
ReplyDeleteNice job, you all are so smart.
ReplyDeleteHi.I think everything is a solid but melting wax it is a liquid because it does not have it`s own shape.Hi.Wait no I mean BYE.This is Nathan.
ReplyDeleteabout 90% of the body is liqid
ReplyDeletegtg
ReplyDeleteCool facts. Did you know that the average human brain has about 100 billion nerve cells.
ReplyDeleteI think that the melting wax is a solid because when you put it on its a liquid and when you let it sit it becomes a solid. I think that if there is 2 answers it would have to be the last one so the conclusion is that it is a solid.!
ReplyDeleteYaser- I agree with you about that. Those are all solids
ReplyDeleteI think those are all solid. They have own shape in the normal temperature.
ReplyDeleteyeah... i don't understand why some people don't think dust is a solid because it totally is!
ReplyDeleteBaby powder I think is a solid also melting wax.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Melanie because the stuff that makes dust is a solid!
ReplyDeleteI think that melting wax is still solid because and can forn into a shape which makes it a solid
ReplyDeletei am confused with these conersation
ReplyDeleteI am confused to is it solid or what is it
ReplyDeleteI think its pretty avious that a cloud is a liquid. Because it rains!
ReplyDeleteThere is not a homework secion so I am going to do it on hear. the solids are a refrigerator a golfball a binder and the liquids are steam and carbonated water
ReplyDeleteFrom what this person said smoke is a soild areosol which means it both a soild and a gas.
