Make homemade ice-markers with water and food coloring and use this activity to discuss states of matter.

• Provide adaptive seating so all children are comfortable and able to access the materials.
• Set up a boundary around the coloring area to help children know where to color.

• Provide smaller, easier-to-hold pitchers or cups for children to use to pour water.
• Ensure the material used as a handle for ice-markers is easily graspable by all children.
• Use dark and highly contrasting colors to help children differentiate the colors.
• Provide gloves for children who might not want to touch cold or have color on their hands.

• Provide visuals of solid and liquid.
• Use visuals that demonstrate the steps to making the coloring tools (pouring, mixing, sticking the handle in, etc.
• Break the task down into small steps.
