Science Unit 7G
Subject: Science
Topic: Sc 3 Materials and their properties
Key Stage/Year Group:
KS 3/Year 7
National Curriculum links:
- Sc3:1 (a) How materials can be characterised by melting point, boiling point and density.
- Sc3:1 (b) How the particle theory of matter can be used to explain the properties of solids, liquids and gases, including changes of state, gas pressure and diffusion.
- Sc1:1 (b) That it is important to test explanations by using them to make predictions and by seeing if evidence matches the predictions.
- Sc1:2(f) Use a range of equipment and materials appropriately.
- Sc1:2 (g) Make observations and measurements to an appropriate degree of precision.
- Sc1:2 (m) Use scientific knowledge and understanding to explain and interpret observations and conclusions.
- Sc1:2 (n) Consider anomalies in observations or measurements and try to explain them.
Scheme of Work links:
- Unit 7G
- Particle model of solids, liquids and gases
Unit Duration:
8 lessons of 50 mins
Achievement objectives :
- Learn how the particle model can be used to explain the differences between solids, liquids and gases.
- Explore how experimental evidence relates to theories and models.
- Use the particle model to explore the interplay between scientific theories and evidence
- Evaluate whether evidence supports or refutes explanations of phenomena.
