Through this unit children consolidate their ideas about changes of state which can be reversed. They use their understanding to explain a range of familiar phenomena.
Experimental and investigative work focuses on:
- making observations and measurements and presenting these
- identifying patterns in results
- suggesting explanations for observations and conclusions in terms of scientific knowledge and understanding.
Work also offers opportunities for using IT (see IT Units
5B 'Analysing data and asking questions: using complex searches' and
5C 'Evaluating information, checking accuracy and questioning plausibility') to obtain, collect, retrieve and present data and using knowledge and understanding of science to explain and interpret everyday observations related to changes of state.
This unit takes approximately 12 hours.
