Hi all, Caspian is back!
I forgot to do my blog yesterday sorry. I had a lesson about the melting point of solids to liquid, and reversible change.
Melting is when a solid is exposed to heat for a period of time and melts to form a liquid. The temperature required to cause the melt depends upon the solid material.
Butter melts at 38 degrees centigrade.
Ice melts at 0 degrees centigrade.
Wax melts at 75 degrees centigrade.
When an object melts, it is the same amount of matter and can return to its original state.
Mum melted some butter when she baked some oat royales so I watched to see the whole melting down process.
Today, I wrote a piece about all the nature I saw on our nature walk and also sketched some of the things. I think moss is really interesting as it is full of moisture and always grows facing north.
That’s all folks!
Great science Caspian!! Also thank you for teaching me that moss always grows facing north- that’s a fact I didn’t know. Did you see any raspberries on your nature walk? Some of the guys went foraging for berries today whilst we were up the woods.
A nice bit of science research there, Caspian – well done.
