Materials - Changing Things
If a pane of glass is broken it won't put itself back together again. The change is permanent!

Materials - Changing Things

This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Science for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with materials and how they change, for example when cooking.

Materials don’t always stay the same. If you stretch a rubber band, it will bounce back again. But if you chop up a carrot, you can’t put the carrot back together again. When you are baking a cake, the ingredients all look different. But when you mix them together and cook them, they change and become a new material. The cooked cake doesn’t look like any of the ingredients. Let’s find out a bit more about how materials change.
