|content= This activity is intended to help young children understand that matter is made of particles and to identify changes in state as changes in the amount of energy that particles within the material have. It is intended that they develop a very practical understanding of this principle as preparation for investigating the changes in state of various different materials. The activity is a practical, physical exploration of a concept and so best done in a large hall as there is some running around involved.
|content= This activity is intended to help young children understand the concept of the capacity of a container being something that can be measured and compared. It is intended that they develop a very practical understanding of this principle as preparation for investigating measuring capacity in both non-standard and standard units.
