Students will learn that materials exist as either solid, liquid, or gas, and that the physical properties of materials can be changed by adding water or heat, or by mixing. Through the demonstrations, students wil learn about heat energy and how heating water may change its physical properties by using a model steam engine. We will also show that moving water has energy that can be transferred to other objects.
