Grade: 4
*This is a science lesson I taught to fourth grade students during my student teaching internship.
Read, discuss, and complete the ‘A Heated Discussion’ worksheet, which talks about changes in matter such a condensation, evaporation, freezing, and boiling.
Show the students a solution of water and Epsom salt. Ask the students to predict what will happen if they use the solution to paint on paper.
Have the students create a scene on dark blue construction paper using crayons. Then have the students paint on the picture using the Epsom salt solution (integrating art). As the solution dries, the water evaporates, leaving the Epsom Salt.
