Investigating Heat and Melting

Learn Investigating Heat and Melting in 3rd Grade Science from the production AIPH study guide.

Practical Applications

## Observe How Heat Changes Matter Find different solids (like chocolate, butter, and ice) and see what happens when you warm them gently. ## Steps 1. Place each item on a small plate. 2. Use a sunny window or a lamp for gentle heat. 3. Watch and record which items melt, and how fast. This experiment shows how heat energy can change the state of matter!

Examples

  • Chocolate melts in your hand faster than ice melts on a table.
  • Butter gets soft and runny when left near a warm stove.
