Lesson Planning

Teaching

• Observe a block of ice and consider how to change its state (Yr1).
• Devise an investigation to melt the ice quickly or slowly (Yr2).
• Make predictions about the outcome and test those predictions in the classroom.
• Consider why it is useful for people to know how to regulate the melting of ice.

Activities

1. Observe a block of ice, consider how to change its state and make predictions.
2. Devise an investigation to melt the ice quickly or slowly (Yr2).
