practiced using a thermometer to get the temperature of room temperature water, ice water and boiled water, as well as the temperature of our palms

Science

• The child learned about different states of matter by measuring the temperature of room temperature water, ice water, and boiled water.
• They practiced using a thermometer to understand temperature as a measurable quantity.
• Through measuring the temperature of their palms, the child got hands-on experience in understanding body temperature and heat transfer.

For continued development, you can encourage the child to explore other materials with different temperatures such as metal objects or household items. They can also learn about the effects of heat and cold on different materials, encouraging them to make predictions and observe changes.
