Section outline

  • Week 5: This week we continue our exploration of Matter - we are now exploring the particle theory of matter.

    Learning intention: Same as previous week. See slide above.

    Success criteria: Same as previous week. See slide above.

    Key word list: See slide above as we start working through this list.

    Remember: You need to take excellent notes during class time to help you with your end of year exam revision.
    Not all slides are presented here. You need to take ownership of your learning.

    Activities:

    • Explored the Particle theory of matter (relating this to particles in a droplet of water)
    • Related the particle theory to the three states of matter and behaviour of atoms
    • Researched properties of states of matter at the particle level.
    • Reflected and checked in on our learning.
    • Discovered the effect heat has on particles in motion learning about kinetic energy
    • Youtube: Changes of states of matter
