EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING the particle nature of matter.
• We are EXPLORING the behaviour of solid, liquid and gas particles and how this applies to everyday situations.
• We are EXPLORING the differences between pure substances and mixtures and between elements and compounds.
• We are EXPLORING different methods of separating mixtures.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• outline the 'Particle Theory of Matter'.
• explain the difference between the three states of matter.
• outline how to change matter from one state to another.
• describe and investigate the processes involved in the water cycle.
• explain the processes of thermal expansion and contraction.
• discuss the process of heat transfer by conduction.
• discuss the process of heat transfer by convection.
• explain the differences between pure substances and mixtures and between elements and compounds.
• investigating the solubility of different solvents.

Activities:

1. Reading interesting texts to answer questions.
2. Completing investigations and ensuring that they are fair tests.
3. Research.
