We did an experiment to observe the 3 states of matter. Here is how to do the experiment at home:
1. Put a piece of ice in a snack size baggie. This is the solid state of matter.
2. Take your baggie outside to watch the ice melt. This is the liquid state of matter.
3. When the ice is completely melted, drop in an Alka-Seltzer tablet. Now you can see the gas state of matter. (Note-Eventually your baggie will pop open if you don’t unzip it yourself, so watch out for this!)
