This resource can be used as a pre cursor to an investigation in to how materials are affected by heat and cold or it could link to a wider topic on changing materials.  Resources needed– large space – cones set out in a 3 sided square large enough for all the children to walk around each other but not so large they can run without coming out of the top – this area is the ‘container’.


Notes and tips
=Teacher's Notes=
You need a large area for this particularly if the group are young or excitable.  Lay down ground rules about behaviour as the activity involves some running around.

Notes and tips
You need a large area for this particularly if the group are young or excitable e.g. the school hall with an extra adult. Lay down ground rules about behaviour as the activity involves some running around.
