<h1>🎈 Matter in Action: Balloons, Pouring, and Stacking</h1>
<h2>Week 6 • Wednesday • Hands-On Classification Stations</h2>
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>You cannot see air, but it is real matter! When you blow up a balloon, you trap gas inside. The gas spreads out and pushes on the balloon. That is why the balloon gets big and round.</p>
<p>Liquids and solids act differently. You can pour a liquid from cup to cup. It flows and changes shape. You cannot pour a block! Solids keep their shape. That is why you can stack blocks into a tower.</p>
<p>Today you will visit three stations. At each station, you will watch matter in action. You will see how each state behaves.</p>
</div>
<h3>✏️ Quick Questions</h3>
<p>1. What is trapped inside a balloon when you blow it up?</p>
<div class="answer-line"></div>
<p>2. Why can you stack blocks but not water?</p>
<div class="answer-line"></div>
<p>3. How do you know air is real matter?</p>

<div class="line-row"></div>
</div>
<h3>⚠️ Safety</h3>
<div class="safety-box">
<p>Ask a grown-up to help blow up balloons. Keep balloons away from your mouth when not blowing. Pour liquids over a tray or sink. Wipe up spills right away.</p>
</div>
<h3>🔬 Experiment: Three Matter Stations</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p style="margin-bottom:3px;"><strong>Station 1 — Gas:</strong> Blow up a balloon. Watch it grow. Let a little air out on your hand. Feel the gas escape!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:3px;"><strong>Station 2 — Liquid:</strong> Pour water between two different cups. Watch the water change shape each time.</p>
<p><strong>Station 3 — Solid:</strong> Stack blocks or boxes into a tower. Notice how each one keeps its shape.</p>
</div>

<h3>📊 Station Observation Chart</h3>
<p style="font-size:10.5px; color:#555;">Write or draw what you observed at each station.</p>
<table>
<tr><th>Station</th><th>What I did</th><th>What I observed</th></tr>
<tr><td>1. Balloon (gas)</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>2. Pouring (liquid)</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>3. Stacking (solid)</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
</table>
<h3>📊 Sort It: Classification Station</h3>
<p style="font-size:10.5px; color:#555;">Gather these items if you can. Write the state of each one.</p>
<table>
<tr><th>Item</th><th>Solid, liquid, or gas?</th><th>How do you know?</th></tr>
<tr><td>Crayon</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Water in a cup</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Air in a balloon</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Coin</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr><td>Honey</td><td></td><td></td></tr>
</table>
<h3>🎨 Drawing: Matter at the Stations</h3>
<p style="font-size:10.5px; color:#555;">Draw your balloon, your pouring cups, and your block tower.</p>

<h3>✏️ Write About Your Stations</h3>
<p>1. What happened when you let air out of the balloon?</p>
<div class="answer-lines-triple">
<div class="line-row"></div>
<div class="line-row"></div>
<div class="line-row"></div>
</div>
<p>2. How did the water change when you poured it into a new cup?</p>

<h3>🧠 Design Challenge: Matter Machine</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p>Draw a silly machine that uses all three states of matter. Maybe it pours a liquid, blows a gas, and drops a solid! Label each state.</p>
</div>
<div class="draw-box" style="height:110px;"></div>
<h3>📓 Science Journal</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p>Write today's date in your journal. Write one sentence about each station. Circle the station that was the most fun.</p>
</div>
<h3>🏠 Home Activity</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p>At bath time, find all three states of matter. The tub is solid. The water is liquid. The bubbles hold gas!</p>
