This lesson introduces Year 4 pupils to the properties of solids, helping them understand that solids keep their shape because their particles are packed closely together. To explore this idea in a practical way, the class carries out a simple experiment in which they shake a jar of cream until it turns into butter. During the activity, pupils observe how the liquid cream gradually thickens and eventually becomes a solid that holds its shape. This hands-on investigation helps them see how a material can change state and reinforces their understanding of what makes a solid different from a liquid.

This lesson focuses on understanding the difference between conductors and insulators and how they impact electricity. The task is a hands on group work investigation to find out which materials block the flow of electricity and which do not. Key questions: What are conductors? What are insulators? What is the difference? How do they effect the flow of electricity?
