Liquid Nitrogen!

We are learning about the changes in matter.  We know that matter comes in the form of solids, liquids or gases.  We also know that matter can change if we add something to it.

Today Miss O'Neill had A LOT of fun using liquid nitrogen to change the properties of some solids and gases.  How awesome!

Have a peek at our photos.  Underneath the photos are some youtube videos showing the same experiments.

Using a balloon...

 Using a carnation...


We also used a banana. When we hit it with a hammer...it shattered! Here is another youtube video where the scientists use liquid nitrogen to make ice-cream! Yum! Unfortunately we didn't make this.
