Hot as an Ice Cube by Philip Balestrino
Concepts to develop:
- Everything is made of tiny particles called molecules.
- Molecules are always moving.
- Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
- Heating something makes its temperature rise.
- As it cools off its temperature falls.
- The faster the molecules in something move, the hotter it is. The more you heat something, the faster the molecules move. This is what causes its temperature to rise.

Activity - PE
Remind children of the game they played with Edventure More pretending to be molecules. Review that as frozen water they were very still, and as the temperature rises they move more rapidly. Now you are ready for some exercise! Using vocabulary such as: Hot, Warm, Cold, Sizzling, Chilly, Freezing, Boiling, Steamy, Solid, Liquid and Gas, have them show by their actions what the molecules would do in that state. You can also play tag, but they must move as molecules as you shout out the vocabulary as they play.
