Year 4

This term in Science, Year 4 are learning all about Heat Energy. We have been exploring the Conduction of heat through different surfaces and objects. Through our experiment, we discovered how heat moves through warmer objects to cooler ones, which is called a heat transfer. We melted ice cubes on metal, wood and plastic spoons and predicted which surface would make the ice melt the fastest. We discovered that the ice cube on the metal spoon melted the fastest because metal conducts heat more efficiently than wood or plastic!
