Kinetic Theory of Matter States of Matter and Change of State Distance Learning and Homeschool KS3

This is an action-packed distance learning or home school, fully resourced lesson on the kinetic theory of matter for middle school and includes states of matter, change of state, gas pressure and diffusion.

This resource has been designed so that the animated PowerPoint replaces the teacher by providing structure, sequence, knowledge and answers. The worksheets, cut-outs, foldable and progress check provide a familiar medium for students to develop and test their knowledge, continue to develop their literacy skills and use their creativity to organise their learning and assess their progress.

The simulated practical shows how measurements for the angles of incidence and reflection are obtained and provides a set of results for the students to draw a conclusion.

What’s Covered

• Identifies the three states of matter as solid, liquid and gas.
• Demonstrates the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases.
• Explains the properties of solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement of their particles.
• Explains change of state including sublimation.
• Explains pressure in gases and the effect of increasing the number of particles and temperature and decreasing volume
• Diffusion

Resources

1. An animated PowerPoint which guides the student through the lesson by:

• explaining how to use distance learning effectively;
• explaining how to use this resource;
• explaining current, voltage and resistance and the relationship between them;
• providing the answers to all the worksheets so that the students can mark and correct their work.

1. Four worksheets, and two cut-out activities, the answers to which are in the PowerPoint.

2. A foldable and cut-out activity so that students can record and organise their learning.

3. A checklist for students to use to assess their progress.

4. Digital quick test

5. For those students without internet or a computer or a computer at home a condensed printable copy of the PowerPoint is provided for distribution by school.
