This week, Grade 7 science students continued to engage themselves in the current unit focused on transforming matter to enhance its usefulness, emphasizing phase changes and temperature variations.
Students monitored temperature changes across solid, liquid, and gas states. They created heating curves to visually represent how temperature influences phase transitions, deepening their understanding and connecting theory to real-world applications.
A highlight of the week was an experiment on the sublimation of iodine, where students observed iodine transitioning from solid to gas without becoming liquid. This captivating demonstration sparked curiosity about other phase changes in nature.
The inquiry-based approach encouraged students to ask questions, make predictions, and draw conclusions based on their observations.
