By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
Describe the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, such as shape, volume, and flow.
Classify different materials into their respective states of matter based on their properties.
Investigate changes of state, such as melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation.
Explain how heating and cooling can affect the state of a substance.
National Curriculum Objectives
Year 4 Science: State of matter
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
