Reading Puzzle Line Up
Reading Puzzle Line Up Take a strip of paper and read it. On the back note down: ● ●
What do you think the TOPIC of this section will be? Do you think your sentence is at the beginning, middle, or end of the section?
Reading Puzzle Answer We can easily see liquids and solids around us, but most gases aren’t visible. We can’t see the air around us, but it is still made of atoms that constantly move around freely in space. How can we tell? Take a balloon, for example. When we pump air into a balloon, it visibly inflates. That means that gaseous matter is filling the balloon and taking up space. The more air we blow into the balloon, the bigger it gets. Therefore,we can observe the way gas moves around space. In the same way, inflatable pool toys also fill with air so that they can float on water. When we fill the plastic shells with air, the toys take shape. Since air is lighter than water, the pool toys can rest on the water without sinking. And then we can enjoy a sunny day while floating in a pool!
