Curriculum Links
A change of state between solid and liquid can be caused by adding or removing heat (VCSSU059)
Solids, liquids and gases behave in different ways and have observable properties that help to classify them (VCSSU076)
Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another; a change in the temperature of an object is related to the gain or loss of heat by the object (VCSSU063)
Energy from a variety of sources can be used to generate electricity; electric circuits enable this energy to be transferred to another place and then to be transformed into another form of energy (VCSSU081)
