They discovered that **not all chocolate melts the same way**. Some began softening quickly, while others held their shape a little longer. This led to fantastic discussions about ingredients, cocoa solids, and why different chocolates might behave differently when heated. The experiment was a brilliant opportunity for the children to practise making predictions, carrying out a comparative test, and recording their results accurately. A big well done to Year 4 for their enthusiasm, teamwork, and scientific thinking. What a *sweet* way to learn! ### Year 4 Melt into Science [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/5ee7861f-b6f5-4184-a8be-7a665de72262.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/5ee7861f-b6f5-4184-a8be-7a665de72262.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/26261933-289d-4b0a-82cf-33d62dfe031d.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/26261933-289d-4b0a-82cf-33d62dfe031d.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/e2927793-a892-4968-bcf5-b2caada114b0.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/e2927793-a892-4968-bcf5-b2caada114b0.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/dd308c88-9cd0-46b6-930f-41a5719836fa.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/dd308c88-9cd0-46b6-930f-41a5719836fa.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/150a952c-2286-4735-a4fd-14f8c065aa85.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/150a952c-2286-4735-a4fd-14f8c065aa85.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/0d2ac769-a607-4bc4-8ff5-b95e6acdebff.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/0d2ac769-a607-4bc4-8ff5-b95e6acdebff.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/24561b3d-9055-451f-8bb8-011ab04e858a.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/24561b3d-9055-451f-8bb8-011ab04e858a.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/de695192-7d6d-4736-8b72-b221039262ff.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/de695192-7d6d-4736-8b72-b221039262ff.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/047bba5b-648f-4dc1-83cb-350ebd6da558.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/047bba5b-648f-4dc1-83cb-350ebd6da558.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/40d192ab-0004-428d-b9e0-b689ed805c57.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/year-4-melt-into-science/40d192ab-0004-428d-b9e0-b689ed805c57.jpg) [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-4) [Science](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_0561%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-27-14-58-year-1-science) Previous ### [Year 1 Science](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-27-14-58-year-1-science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/62c8346c-ceb0-4469-b0fa-a7385b4b5b78.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-28-15-40-investigating-melting-points) Next ### [Investigating Melting Points ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2026-01-28-15-40-investigating-melting-points) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
