Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Solids hold their shape.
  2. Liquids take the shape of the bottom of their containers.
  3. Gases fill their containers.
  4. Liquids and gases are known as fluids because they can flow.
  5. All matter (stuff) is made of particles.
  6. Particles in a solid form a lattice - regular pattern.
  7. Particles in a liquid are touching, but have no pattern.
  8. Particles in a gas are spread out, with no pattern.
  9. Particles in a gas and liquids can move relative to each other, that is why they have no pattern.
  10. When particles can move relative to each other, the material can flow.
  11. The is no such thing as liquid or solid particles.

Keywords:
  • Particle: Small part of matter. (2)
  • Solid: Contain closely packed particles which may vibrate but remain in position. Attraction between particles is very strong but kinetic energy of particles is very low. (2)
  • Gas: Particles are spread apart and move about randomly. So they have high amounts of kinetic energy but attraction between particles is weak. (2)
  • Liquid: Particles are touching but able to freely move over each other, resulting in substances in this state having no fixed shape. . Particles have moderate kinetic energy and attraction. (2)
  • Lattice: a regular repeated three-dimensional arrangement. (1)
  • Matter: Any substance that occupies space and possesses mass. (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What are the properties of solids?
    Solids hold their shape.
  2. What are the properties of liquids?
    Liquids take the shape of the bottom of their container.
  3. What are the properties of gases?
    Gases fill their containers.
  4. What is a fluid?
    Fluids are liquids and gases because they can flow.
  5. What is anything with mass made of?
    All matter (stuff) is made of particles.
  6. How are the particles arranged in solids?
    Particles in a solid form a lattice - regular pattern.
  7. How are the particles arranged in liquids?
    Particles in a liquid are touching, but have no pattern.
  8. How are the particles arranged in gases?
    Particles in a gas are spread out and have no pattern.
  9. What property do substances which have particles that are able to move relative to each other have?
    They are able to flow (occurs in both liquids and gases).

Learning Phases/Episodes
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Differentiation: AGT, SEND, LLL, Disadvantaged
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
