Melting

2
While making chocolate crispie cakes, the
children were able to discover some of the
properties of chocolate.
3
We broke the chocolate up. It was hard.
4
We melted the chocolate in the microwave.
5
What happened to the chocolate? It changed. Why
did it change? It is now soft and runny.
6
We asked the children what else would melt
chocolate?

• Holding it in my hand
• The sun
• Fire
• The heater
• In my pocket

7
We put some of the melted chocolate in the
fridge. It changed again. It went hard and
cold. Why?
8
We mixed the crispies into the melted chocolate.
When the chocolate was hard we ate them.
