Chocolate experiment

We have been learning about changing materials. We have investigated what happens to chocolate and ice when it is heated.

Mrs Cassidy gave us a chocolate button. We had to hold it in our hands while she read a poem about chocolate. (see below) At the end of the poem we opened our hands. The chocolate had all melted in our hands!! We got to lick our hands and eat the chocolate! Yummy!. We found out that the chocolate turns from a solid to a liquid when we add heat.

....look at the photos!

Chocolate

Look at me, look at me,

I’ve got chocolate.

It’s the end of the party

They’ve given me chocolate.

Look at me, look at me I’ve got chocolate.

I must keep my chocolate Where no one can get it.

Where shall I put it In my bag? In my pocket?

No. In my hand, I’ll keep it.

Look at me, look at me I’ve got chocolate

And I’m going home to eat it. And we walk down the street,

It’s a sunny day and hot For me and my chocolate

And I’ve got it, I’ve got it, My fingers are round it Tightly closed round it,

Look at me, look at me I’ve got chocolate.

And we get to my house And I rush in and shout

‘Look at me, look at me, I’ve got chocolate…’

And I open up my hands To show them the chocolate… …and oh no!

What do you know!

That lovely bit Of beautiful chocolate Has gone all soggy Mucky and sticky Like a handful of mud

And all I’ve got, Is a big sticky mess

Oh no, oh yes! ‘Look at you, look at you what are you going to do?’

And I stop and I think And I think and I stop.

What’s in my hand? What have I really got?

Is it still chocolate? Is this mess chocolate or not?

I know what I’ll just try a little taste I take my tongue to my finger

And my finger to my tongue

And YUM!
