Changing Materials
Science Goal 2 – Learning Objective: Explore and describe the way some everyday materials change when they are heated or
cooled.

Science Goal 2 – Learning Objective: Recognise that some materials can dissolve in water.

English Goal 2 – Learning Objective: Make simple notes.

EXPLORATION HOMEWORK

Do these experiments at home, take pictures and glue them in your “How do I Change Flipbook”.
a) Warming food: Wrap a piece of chocolate. Hold it in your hand for two minutes.
- What do you notice?
b) Cooling food: Take that piece of chocolate and put it in the freezer for 2 minutes.
- What do you notice now?
c) Dissolving materials: Take a teaspoon of sugar and pour it into a glass of water.
- What do you notice?
THEORY
Look and learn about heating and cooling
We use heat to make a solid material melt into a liquid. Example: The sun is
melting the chocolate.
How can you make the chocolate turn back into a solid state? Tick your answer.
Cool it Heat it

Look and learn about dissolving

Some materials disappear when you mix them with water, this is
called dissolving, but some materials do not. If we try to dissolve
flour or sand into water, we will notice it is impossible, but if we try
with sugar or salt, we will see the results are different.
CLASSWORK PRACTICE
Look at the pictures and read the situations. Write what will happen to the materials.
