Year 4 are looking at states of matter. We looked at a thermometer and investigated the temperature of different objects and areas in the classroom. We then looked at chocolate, ice cream, butter and a jelly sweet and used what we’d learned to predict which would melt first. We made tin foil boats for our substances and Mrs Smith added 300ml of hot water each time. We measured the temperature of the water and watched to see if any changes happened in our substances. Ice cream melted first and was a liquid completely at 8 degrees followed by the butter at 10 degrees and the chocolate at 22degrees. The water was 44 degrees when the jelly started to melt!
