What Is a Liquid?
A liquid is something that can FLOW! 🌊 When you pour water into a cup, it takes the shape of the cup. If you pour it into a bowl, it changes to fit the bowl shape. This is because liquids are special; they cannot hold their own shape like solids can. Instead, they always spread out to fill whatever container they are in. This is what makes liquids so fun and interesting! Think about it: when you splash water in the bathtub, it moves around and makes waves! Can you think of other liquids you see around you? Maybe juice, milk, or even soup? Each of these liquids flows and takes the shape of their containers, just like water does! Exploring liquids can be a great adventure! What other fun things can you do with liquids?
