Elaborations
- • Elaboration observing the properties of substances and classifying them as solids (that hold their shape) or liquids (that fill the bottom of containers)
- • Elaboration investigating ice melting or water freezing in a sealed bag and explaining their observations
- • Elaboration using ice cubes, butter or chocolate to explore how changes of state involve the removal of heat or the addition of heat
- • Elaboration investigating how changes of state in materials used by First Nations Australians such as beeswax or resins are important for their use
- • Elaboration exploring how changes from solid to liquid and liquid to solid can help us recycle materials such as glass or plastics
