Changing State Table (BBC interactive experiments & results):

In your class/group discussions, describe some everyday situations where solids and liquids change state by adding heat (heating) or removing heat (cooling)

Complete the on-line interactive tasks to predict, observe and record the effects of adding heat or removing heat on a variety of everyday solids and/or liquids, eg butter, chocolate and water

1. Drag chocolate into the glass beaker and then press buttons to heat, cool and test:

Follow the instructions: Enter your answer below:
1. When you press the 'heat' button, what happens to the chocolate?
2. What temperature is the chocolate now?
3. When you press 'test' to wobble beaker. Does chocolate move like solid or liquid now?
4. Press 'cool' then 'test' to wobble beaker. Does chocolate move like solid or liquid now?
5. What temperature is the chocolate now?

2. Drag candle wax into the glass beaker and then press buttons to heat, cool and test:

Follow the instructions: Enter your answer below:
1. When press you press the 'heat' button, what happens to the candle wax?
2. What temperature is the candle wax now?
3. When you 'test' to wobble beaker. Does wax move like solid or liquid now?
4. Press 'cool' then 'test' to wobble beaker. Does wax move like solid or liquid now?
5. What temperature is the candle wax now?
