P - Science 4 - End-Of-Unit - 3

The document is an end-of-unit test for a primary science unit covering states of matter and changes of state. It contains 4 multiple choice and short answer questions that assess understanding of key concepts like: 1) The three states of matter and examples of changes of state 2) How solids and liquids behave in terms of particle motion and shape change 3) The process of freezing that turns a liquid (milk) into a solid (ice cream) 4) Factors that affect the rate of rusting from an experiment with different conditions.
