Looking at States of Matter, this resource provides examples of solids, liquids and gases. Students explore the difference between a solid, liquid and gas using observable properties.
Investigate the observable properties of solids and liquids and how adding or removing heat energy leads to a change of state
Explain observable properties of solids, liquids and gases by modelling the motion and arrangement of particles
A change of state between solid and liquid can be caused by adding or removing heat
Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways
A change of state between solid and liquid can be caused by adding or removing heat
Solids, liquids and gases behave in different ways and have observable properties that help to classify them
Questions, plans and conducts scientific investigations, collects and summarises data and communicates using scientific representations
Selects and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Describes how adding or removing heat causes a change of state
Investigates the suitability of natural and processed materials for a range of purposes
Plans and conducts scientific investigations to answer testable questions, and collects and summarises data to communicate conclusions
Plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Explains the effect of heat on the properties and behaviour of materials
Explains how the properties of materials determines their use for a range of purposes
