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’.
