Learning goals
- We are learning to investigate changes of state between solids and liquids caused by adding or removing heat.
- We are learning to understand that solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways.
- We are learning to understand that solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways.
