Our final lesson of the term was all about chocolate! First we had to put a piece of chocolate in our mouths and let it melt on our tongues - allowing a solid to change into a liquid, it was quickly noticed that it was the heat from our mouths that let this happen.
Next we had to find out where in the classroom we could melt chocolate, other than our mouths. The children quickly identified that in order to find this out we had to investigate what temperature chocolate melted at. So we set up an investigation. We had to melt a piece of chocolate over a heat source and. using a thermometer, find out the temperature of the chocolate when it turned from a solid into a solid and liquid state. The children worked incredibly sensibly with the candles, and although in the time we had the chocolate didn't completely change into a liquid, we were able to find out the temperature it began to melt and also find a place in the classroom where we could melt it.
