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
