Activity 5 Science

Oak Academy - Science

States of Matter - Lesson 5

What are melting points and boiling points?

In this lesson, we will learn about how scientists measure temperature, two major 'fixed points' of a substance (melting and boiling point) and how we can determine the state of matter of a substance at a particular temperature when given these fixed points.

After the lesson, I recommend viewing the BBC Bitesize activity to support the learning objectives - along with any additional resources you may want to look at too.
