Lesson Idea | How Do They Mix? - Properties of Liquids and Solids

This hands-on science lesson is designed to teach students about the properties of solids and liquids through engaging activities like making sugar scrub and play dough. Aimed at primary-grade learners, the lesson introduces key science concepts such as states of matter, physical properties, and mixtures. Students explore how different materials mix—whether they blend evenly, separate, or don’t mix at all—by observing real-life examples like oil and water or sugar and flour. With clear safety notes and easy-to-find materials, this lesson encourages inquiry and creativity while helping children understand how matter behaves and changes in everyday situations.
