Let’s get started
Today we will explore what changes when heated? through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Watch an adult warm water safely; notice steam from far away without touching.
- Try it as a team: Notice one thing with your senses. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Make a guess before you try. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example

- Try it again: Watch an adult warm water safely; notice steam from far away without touching. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about what changes when heated?. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
