This is a simulation that will help you to understand what happens to the particles that make up matter when they change from a solid, liquid or gas phase.
Use water as your substance and change the temperature scale to ºC.
Pay special attention to the spacing and motion of the particles. Remember, the black space is not air, it is nothing, empty space.
These links and video helps to explain how all matter (stuff) is made of tiny particles that are always moving.
It also explains the bonds that hold the particles together.
Use this quiz to help you memorise the characteristics of solids, liquids and gases.
You should complete the quiz lots of times until you keep getting 100%.
Remember, there is a big difference between practising something until you get it right, and practising until you hardly ever get it wrong.
Good luck!
Here is the the ten minute knowledge quiz that we did, along with the answers to the quiz. Use this to help you to revise. Get someone to test you at home if you can. Remember to work on the priorities you identified in class.
Remember in a physical change, no new substances are produced.
A physical change can be reversed.
As you can see the first questions just test your knowledge and whether you can:
The last question is a bit different though. It needs you look at information and use what you know to work something out.
It needs you to make a link between states of matter and friction.
Making these types of links is what is needed for Secure and beyond.
Use this quiz to help you memorise the language we learned from reading about the problems of getting clean water in the trenches.
You should complete the quiz lots of times until you keep getting 100%.
