 =How to use this resource=
-This is a practical session to be used with a whole class –perhaps with the added supervision of a TA if the class is excitable or particularly young.  There is scope within this activity for a number of different methods of learning:
-Whole class dialogue   - Discussion of each part of the activity
-Open-ended questions – Why do materials change state?  What happens to the particles?
-Project work – as part of a wider science topic on materials
-Enquiry-based learning – children are discovering the answer to questions that they are encouraged to pose themselves.
-Arguing and reasoning – persuading each other about their ideas
-Exploring ideas – developing practical, physical understanding of key scientific principles
