What are solids, liquids and gases?
To know the properties of solids, liquids and gases.
To show the difference between the particles in solids, liquids and gases.
To sort materials into solids, liquids and gases
Do all liquids behave the same?
To identify similarities and differences in liquids
To know what the viscosity means
To investigate the runniness of a liquid
To select which variables to keep the same (fair test) and to select one variable to change
To make a prediction about which liquid is the runniest
To take accurate measurements using a timer
To record the results in a table
To report my findings to the class
How do materials change state?
To know that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled
To know that heat can cause solids to change to liquids and vice versa.
To identify materials that melt at different temperatures.
To investigate the melting and freezing temperature of a material.
To predict which temperatures of water will melt the chocolate the fastest
To take accurate measurements using a stopwatch and a thermometer
To record my results in a table and create a bar chart
To report my findings to the class
To know the different states water can be in.
To know the temperatures at which water changes state.
To identify and observe the processes that cause water to change state.
What is the water cycle? (Grammarsaursus)
To know the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle
To use scientific vocabulary to explain each process in the journey of a water droplet.
Does temperature affect the rate of evaporation?
To understand that when towels dry the water will evaporate from them
To explain the effect of temperature on the process of evaporation. (through the towel investigation)
To plan and carry out a comparative test to investigate whether temperature effects how fast towels dry
To think about how to make the investigation fair, what to keep the same and what to change.
To make a prediction about whether they think that temperature will affect how fast the towels dry
To measure accurately the temperature in which each towel was hung
To measure accurately using weighing scales the amount of water in the towels before and after the investigation
To record the results in a table
To use the results explain the relationship between temperature and the rate of evaporation. They will be able to apply their science knowledge to suggest conditions that will accelerate or decelerate the rate of evaporation.
