Unit 5d:
Changing State
Name and describe processes associated with water changing state, that these processes can be reversed; explain the water cycle.
Direct2U Lesson Plan (Water Cycle)
This activity uses an animation from the Teacher Resource Exchange to introduce the Water Cycle
A number of supporting experiments are suggested and a writing frame is provided to support children as they record the results of these experiments W35 Science Y5X.
Direct2U
Create and use a database on materials to find out about the melting and boiling points of certain materials.
Using the intel microscope, make a movie of ice crystals turning into liquid.
Use a datalogger to record and observe changes in temperature of water as it is heated.
Use a datalogger to record and observe changes in temperature of ice left for three hours at room temperature. Draw a line graph to predict results.
Changing Ice - from Hitcham's Primary School Suffolk
This site describes a datalogging experiment and provides a graph and table of results for comparative purposes. These could be used if live datalogging is not possible.
Use a computer simulation to carry out experiments online.
