Develop children's understanding of what heating does to states of matter with this Year 4 What Happens When We Heat Materials? Investigation Lesson.

In this Year 4 lesson, pupils will engage in a practical investigation to observe how water changes state when heated and the key concepts involved, recording findings in a table and graph to draw scientific conclusions from their fair test.

National Curriculum Objectives:

  • Observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which this happens in degrees Celsius (°C).
