Class 4's Topic Page
Summer Term - Topic 4
Our new topic is...
STATES OF MATTER
During this science topic, we will be learning all about solids, liquids and gases.
As scientists we will:
-
compare and group materials together, according to whether they are solids, liquids or gases
-
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)
-
identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature
