BACK TO WORKSHEETS
Many of the different materials you use day in, day out, can be changed by a change in the temperature. What will happen to them?
Sometimes they melt, sometimes they boil, sometimes they freeze - in other words, they change state. Substances can change from solids to liquids to gases, and back again!
You already know, from your experiences in life and from your science lessons, that some solids melt when heated.
Some liquids boil when heated and turn to vapour.
Similarly, when liquids are cooled down, some turn solid (in a process called 'freezing') and, amazingly, you can cool some gases down enough to turn them back into liquids (that's called 'condensing').
In this activity, we will think about the materials in the questions and what we have learned about them. We will then use that information to help to answer the questions on changes of state.
