### In the lessons

Everyday and safety: blenders are used for smoothies, milkshakes and soups. The blades are very sharp: never put hands or spoons in while it is plugged in; keep the lid on; an adult should help; unplug before cleaning. In science, blending shows mixing; you can compare solid fruit and blended liquid. Phrases: «put it in the blender», «blend until smooth», «stick blender», «hand blender».
