Through an engaging exploration of everyday science, our CIE 3 learners discovered the remarkable adaptability of liquids. Using the same liquid, they carefully poured it into containers of different shapes and observed how it effortlessly changed form to match each one.
This simple yet powerful observation led to an important discovery: liquid particles are loosely arranged, allowing them to move past one another and flow freely. Unlike solids, liquids have no fixed shape of their own—they take the shape of their container.
The activity not only revealed key concepts of particle behaviour but also inspired learners to connect classroom theory with the world around them. It reminded them that meaningful discoveries often begin with close observation.
This hands-on experience deepened their appreciation for the flexible, flowing nature of liquids—showing that science is not just about answers, but about noticing the patterns in how the world works.
“A liquid’s strength lies in its ability to adjust.”
