At what temperatures do different metals melt? - Worksheet - Year 4

This Year 4 worksheet poses an investigative question about the melting points of various metals, prompting students to research and discover at what temperatures metals such as steel, copper, and mercury transition from solid to liquid. The activity encourages critical thinking and exploration, as students are required to find and note down the specific temperatures at which these metals melt. This task not only enhances their understanding of material properties but also integrates a real-world application of science in understanding the behaviour of different elements.

Additionally, the worksheet delves into the broader topic of state changes in solids, liquids, and gases, asking students to consider how these states of matter can transform into one another through processes like freezing and melting. By exploring these concepts, students develop a foundational knowledge of physical science, learning about the conditions that lead to state changes and the terminology used to describe these transitions. The worksheet is designed to engage students in scientific inquiry and to solidify their comprehension of the basic principles of matter and its interactions with temperature.
