PARTICLES
•
Solids have the fixed shape.
•
It is hard and firm.
•
It changes its shape by giving force or pressure.
SOLID
•
Liquid do not have the fixed shape.
•
It takes the shape of the container.
•
It flows.
LIQUID
•
GAS has no definite shape.
•
Gases take the shape of whatever container they are in.
•
The air all around us is a gas
GAS
TASK 2
Describe the three states of matter and name some examples
of each.
•
Think about the properties of each state
•
Describe how particles behave in each state.
EXPERIMENT
Dear Form 4,
My name is Professor Nafisa Compton, and I am a physicist. In my job, I am constantly discovering new things, but it
is not every day a professor of physics gets to make an exciting, ground-breaking, completely new discovery!
In my kitchen, I was making custard. I am good at science, but terrible at cooking (practice makes perfect!), and I
read the recipe wrong! Instead of custard, I ended up with a strange substance. It is hard to explain exactly what is
strange about it - I am hoping you will find out for yourselves shortly.
The problem is, I cannot figure out whether this substance is a solid, liquid or a gas. I am writing to all the local
schools to see if some classes can help reproduce my investigation, and report their findings. Perhaps you will also
discover something exciting! I have called this substance Oobleck, after my favourite Dr. Seuss book - but you can
call it anything you like.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Professor Nafisa Compton.
OOBLECK
Let’s Make Oobleck!
Sometimes a substance has properties that make it more challenging than usual
to determine whether it is a solid, a liquid or a gas. This is the case with a very
unusual substance nicknamed oobleck.
This substance gets its name from a Dr. Seuss story in which it appears.
Carry out this investigation and put your states of matter knowledge to the test.
Will you make a solid, a liquid or something totally new? Have fun and take care
not to get too messy when making oobleck.
SOLID OR LIQUID? EXPERIMENT
•
Make the substance called oobleck.
•
Mix two cups of cornflour with 1 cup of water, you can add food colouring if you
wish.
•
Play with the substance you have created. Do you think this substance is a
liquid or a solid based on what you have learnt today about the properties of
each? Give reason for your thoughts.
PLENARY– FILL IN THE GAPS
Every material is made up of lots of
____
particles. All materials are either
solid, liquid or a
___.
In a
_____
all the particles are packed tightly together
and can hardly move. A solid stays in its own
_____
unless we cut it or shape it
ourselves. Anything you can take hold of is a
_____.
The
_______
in a liquid
are not so tightly packed. They can
____
a little. Liquids are
_____
and flow
downwards. They take the shape of the
_________
they are in. The surface of
a liquid stays
_____.
The particles in
_____
have lots of room and move
around all over the place, all the time. Gases are all
______
us spreading into
any empty space they can. Most gases are
_________.
Missing Words
gases particles move shape solid runny tiny gas solid invisible around
level container
Dive into the characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases through engaging visuals and key vocabulary. Understand the behavior of particles in different states of matter and learn about the properties that define each state. Explore examples of solids, liquids, and gases with a focus on their unique attributes and shapes.
