Kinetic Theory, Mixtures and Solutions, Separating Mixtures - 3 Fully Resourced Lessons Plus Bingo, Escape Room & Board Game

Three comprehensive and fully resourced lessons on particle (kinetic) theory of matter, the composition and properties of mixtures and separating mixtures for middle school. To consolidate learning, or for test prep, there are three enjoyable and challenging games – smart board bingo, a board game and an escape room.

Each teaching pack contains between thirteen and eighteen resources and it is intended that the teacher uses them to build their own unique lesson to take account of student ability and time available. Literacy, oracy, self-assessment and peer assessment are all built in to the resources. These features are clearly marked on the comprehensive one-page flow chart lesson plan which shows where the logical choices between resources can be made. There are three differentiated and engaging homeworks which can also be used as classwork if so desired.

The games are closely related to the topic content and reinforce learning.

What’s Covered

• Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.
• Arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases.
• Properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles.
• Change of state including sublimation.
• Pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume.
• Diffusion.
• Elements and compounds are pure substance and mixtures are not.
• Meaning of the terms solute, solvent, solution, soluble and insoluble.
