20 Jun Year 4
This week in Year 4 science, we learned about solids, liquids, and gases by doing an experiment to find out which of three items chocolate, margarine or butter melts first. We placed small pieces of each into foil dishes and left them in a warm place, watching carefully as they changed from solid to liquid. The margarine melted first, showing it has the lowest melting point, while the chocolate and butter took longer to melt. This experiment helped us understand how heat can change solids into liquids and it was really exciting to see science happening right before our eyes!
