      Not sure how to differentiate this experiment.

    Really simple activity that is easy to do and great practice in counting and measuring as well as science. Can be a lot of great discussion about what the balloons will do.

Solids, Liquids, Maple Syrup! | Education.com - 1 views

      ELL and special ed students can be paired with another student to help create a journal of observations with pictures and words dealing with the states of matter. This activity can be used for older grades too. The students could find the densities of the solids and liquids. They could even go so far as to cook a breakfast and discuss liquids to solids as they are cooked.

    The activity allows students to compare and contrast different solids and liquids. There is also a cooking portion of the activity that can be done with maple syrup.

      1.2.1 "Observe and compare properties of sand, clay, silt and organic matter. Look for evidence of sand, clay, silt and organic matter as components of soil samples." This activity can be modified for gifted students by having them record their predictions about which particles will sink and which particles will float, rather than solely making the observations. This activity can also be modified for older grades by having them do the same thing. The older students can also be told to gather material that is sand, silt, and clay, and try to keep these in separate jars. 
  •  
    Students gather dirt samples from different outdoor areas and fill a jar with their dirt samples. The teacher will add water until the jar is two-thirds full and the students will take turns shaking their jar for two minutes. Each group will allow the contents in their jar to settle for fifteen to thirty minutes. Have the students make observations about how the dirt settled. The heaviest pieces of soil will settle first. Have the students identify the different-sized particles.
