This is an engaging and enjoyable memory game on the kinetic theory of matter which uses the particle model to explain change of state, gas pressure and diffusion. Pupils work in teams of three or four. Each team lays out their 42 cards face down in a square and take it in turn to turn over two cards. If the cards are a question and its correct answer, the pupil keeps the pair. If they are not a match they are turned face down and the next pupil gets a turn. This process continues until all cards are matched and the winner is the pupil with the most pairs.
If a team member thinks that the selectors pair is not a correct match, they can challenge.
Pupils are encouraged to check their books for the correct answer but the teacher also has a quick-check answer sheet. If the challenge is correct, the challenger keeps the pair.
Included in this Pack.

Kinetic Theory of Matter - States of Matter & Change of State - Fully Resourced Lesson Plus Find the Pair Game KS3
A comprehensive and fully resourced lesson on particle or kinetic theory for middle school plus an enjoyable yet challenging find the pair game. The teaching pack contains a fully animated PowerPoint and eighteen resources. It is intended that the teacher selects the appropriate printables 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 game is closely related to the topic content and reinforces 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. **Lesson** * Animated PowerPoint for teaching with exit ticket quiz and all answers to classwork and homework) * Flip it (pupil writes questions to given answers) * Anticipation Guides (combined starter and plenary) * Foldable (students use to make their own notes) * Cut-and-stick activity pupil uses to make their own notes) * Worksheet to support the PowerPoint * Fact sheet * Homework (x3) plus answers * Fact share worksheet * 12 Taboo cards * Pupil progress self-assessment checklist * Exit Ticket * Suggested lesson plan showing choices possible between resources **Game** * 42 question and answer cards * Teacher’s answer sheet. * Instruction sheet **For more high quality resources visit:** [Elf Off the Shelf Resources](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/penyrheol1)
Kinetic Theory of Matter - States of Matter and Change of State - 3 Games for KS3
