States of Matter
This science scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to explore, test and explain how a range of different materials can change their states between solids, liquids and gases by conducting a series of fair tests. The class can test how to clean contaminated water using filtering, evaporation and condensation.
Explore, test and explain how a range of different materials can change their states between solids, liquids and gases by conducting a series of fair tests
Lesson One : Solid or Liquid
Identify and describe the properties of different materials that can be classed as either solids or liquids based on their material properties
Lesson Two : Testing Liquids
Name, describe and compare different types of liquids and conduct a range of tests to identify their matching properties
Lesson Three : Separating Solids
Explore, describe and test different ways of sorting a selection of solid materials into matching groups using a range of techniques
Lesson Four : Mixing Solids
Investigate, test and record scientific observations about what happens when mixing a range of different materials with water
Lesson Five : Cleaning Water
Identify, explain and test how to use filter paper to clean contaminated water when different solid materials have been mixed with a liquid
