This week, Year 4 have started our chemistry topic of states of matter. We’ve looked at the three states of matter and discussed their properties.
- solid – fixed shape and fixed volume
- liquid – non-fixed shape and fixed volume
- gas – non-fixed shape and non-fixed volume
After that, we explored how temperature can change states of matter.
Help at home: ask your children what temperatures change our states of matter (eg below 0°c = freezing).
