UNIT 6: TRANSFORMATION BY STEAM Friday 10 May 2024

Statement of Inquiry Key concept Related concepts

Energy, Development,
Developments in our understanding of SYSTEMS Transformation
basic science (e.g. of changes of state)
have led to technological breakthroughs
that have resulted in major changes in Global Context
society. Orientation in Space and Time

Learning Objectives:
• Be able to understand the concept of Kinetic Theory
• Be able to differentiate between temperature and heat
• Be able to link theory concepts with real world implications

Focus What is heat and temperature?

question: How is heat energy transferred?
What affects the change in temperature of a substance?
Conceptual How can the kinetic theory be used to explain the phenomena studied
question in this unit?

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• To identify different states of matter and their phase changes.

• To describe the difference between boiling and evaporation.
RECAP ON PREFIXES
STARTER:
Write any two points for the properties of each state of matter as shown in
the table. One property has been written as an example ( 10 min)
Solids Liquids Gases

• Particles in the solids are closely Particles in the liquids are loosely Gas particles far apart and so gases
packed so solids are not packed so liquids are not can be compressed.

Solids Liquids Gases

• Particles in the solids are closely
packed so solids are not
compressible.
• 1. Strong force of attraction in
the molecules. So solids have
volume.
• 2. Molecules in solids only
vibrate around their mean
position so have definite shape
Particles in the liquids are loosely
packed so liquids are not
compressible.
1. Weak force of attraction in the
molecules but have a specific
volume.
2. Liquid molecules can slide over
each other so liquids can take
shape of container.
Gas particles far apart and so gases
can be compressed.
1. Very weak force of attraction in
the molecules so gases have no
definite volume.
2. Gas molecules are free to move
so have no definite shape.
