Science
States of Matter
For this week’s lesson you will need some ice cubes, a jar with a lid, or a can of drink (e.g. coke, lemonade, etc.) that has been in the fridge.
This week we are going to learn about the process of condensation and observe how water droplets are formed from water vapour, (a gas).
Key Vocabulary
Solid, liquid, gas, state, matter, heat, cold, liquid, evaporation, evaporate, gas, tiny particles, condensation, tiny droplets, water vapour, molecules
Learning Activity
Evaporation and condensation – Liquids and gases can be changed from one state to another by heating or cooling. Heat can turn a liquid into a gas and cooling can cause a gas to turn to a liquid.
Heating – If water (liquid) is heated, it changes to water vapour (gas). This change is called evaporation. We looked at this process last week.
Cooling – If water vapour (gas) is cooled down, it changes into water (liquid). This change is called condensation. It happens when molecules/tiny droplets of water vapor cool and collect together as liquid water.
Water vapour can be found on the outside of cold glasses, the warm side of windows, and in the clouds up in the air.
Activity one:
Have you ever breathed onto a mirror or a window? What do you notice? If you have a mirror available, breathe on it and see what happens.
You will notice tiny drops of wetness, like a mist. This is called condensation. The water comes from your breath because one of the things we breathe out is water vapour (a gas).
Write a list of as many other places you can think of where condensation might take place. Use the BBC Bitesize clip to help you.
Activity two:
What happens when ice cubes are fastened inside a jar? If you haven’t got a jar use a drinking glass and put some cling film over the top.
• Place some ice cubes in a jar and close the lid.
• Wipe away any water that has been spilled on the outside of the jar.
• Observe what happens to the jar/ice cubes
• You should notice condensation appearing on the outside of the jar. Where does the water come from?
• Draw a diagram to show your investigation and explain what you can see happening, by answering the question.
Activity three:
What happens to a can of drink when it is taken out of the fridge?
• Take a can of drink that has been in the fridge or freezer and place it on the table.
• Draw and label a diagram to show what happens.
Complete the following statements by drawing a circle around the correct answer.
1. Condensation is when a gas turns into a solid/liquid.
2. Condensation occurs when a gas heats up/cools down.
3. The opposite of condensation is freezing/evaporation.
Condensation appears more in hot/cold weather.

Answer to the question in activity one – when the water vapour in the air hits the cold glass of ice it turns from a gas into a liquid making lots of tiny drops of water; it condenses.

Sikhism
Key Vocabulary Sikhism, origins, belong, group, Guru Nanak, Sikh,
Learning Activity This week we will continue with our theme on Sikhism and begin to understand what it means to belong to Sikhism.
Think about these key questions –
• What does it mean to belong to Sikhism?
• How and when did Sikhism start?
• What were the origins of the group?
In our previous two sessions leading into our Sikhism theme, we looked at the meaning of our names. In Sikhism, all Sikh men have the name Singh and ladies Kaur, which mean lion and princess respectively.
As a Sikh, you are equal in God’s eyes, there is no discrimination between men and women, young and old, etc., so when Sikh women get married, they don’t have to take their husband’s name.
In today’s session, we will be beginning to learn about what it means to be a Sikh, what they believe and how Sikhism began.
Sikhism started with a man called Guru Nanak who was the first of ten Gurus. Guru is another word for teacher.
Watch the clips below to find more information about Guru Nanak and how Sikhism began.
Learning Activity Create a storyboard explaining the beginnings of Sikhism by writing the Story of Guru Nanak.
Guru Nanak was the first of ten Gurus, see if you can find out the names of the other nine.
