Year 4 Science

Today the children have finished our topic about changes of state.
We have looked at how solids melt to become liquids and freeze to become solid again, how liquids evaporate to become gases. This lesson we discovered condensation, where it comes from, why does it appear and even attempted to create a mini cloud in the class.

The children had some hot water in a cup which they covered over with cling film, they then put some ice on top to which rapidly cooled the gas creating a mini cloud inside the container which then created condensation. After making the room dark we used torches to observe our experiment.
