S1 Model of matter

Chemistry Topic

All of the classroom resources can be found in the PL Pupils > Science > Science S1-3 (BGE) > S1 Model of matter folder on the shared Google Drives. Each learning cycle resource includes home learning options as appropriate.

If you want your own copy of the resources, open the file and then from the 'File' menu (or document options button on mobile devices), click on the 'Make a copy' option. This will save the resource to your own Google Drive. Remember to organise your files (you might want to make a Science folder for all of your Science work).

This topic covers the idea of particles, atoms and molecules. You will compare the properties of solids, liquids and gases and explain the differences using the particle model (how are the particles arranged in solids, liquids and gases). You will also cover the differences between pure substances and mixtures (including solutions) and look at examples of how to separate different mixtures depending on what they contain.
