States of Matter

Project overview

This project teaches children about solids, liquids and gases and their characteristic features. They observe how materials change state as they are heated and cooled, and learn key terminology associated with these processes.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy โ€“ Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express โ€“ to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones Science Curriculum and is not sold separately.
