P1.1.2 Kinetic theory P1 Lesson 1 Kinetic theory and changes of state.
a The use of kinetic theory to explain the different states of matter. Draw simple diagrams to model the difference between solids, liquids and gases.
b The particles of solids, liquids and gases have different amounts of energy. Describe the states of matter in terms of the energy of their particles.

Full Specification Text[]

a) The use of kinetic theory to explain the different states of matter.
b) The particles of solids, liquids and gases have different amounts of energy.

Starter Activities[]

  • Students draw particle diagrams for 3 states of matter from memory. They should label their diagrams to show the differences between the two. Peer marking or share with class to correct misconceptions.
  • Watch clip on youtube from BBC science in action showing simple particle model ask students to summarise. Give a table to support.
  • Watch clip on youtube showing railway tank being crushed by air pressure. Pair, Share and present possible explanations back to class.
  • Have student role play with students as the paricles demonstrating s,l,g
  • Three trays with marbles
  • They Might be Giants "Solids, Liquids, Gas" Song on You Tube
  • Either the second (particles bingo) or the third (identfying solids liquids and gases) activity in this ASE funsized set of activities

Activities to introduce new ideas[]

  • Watch clip on youtube from BBC science in action showing simple particle model ask students to summarise. Give a table to support.
  • Organise class into groups to behave like particles in solid, liquid or gas and present to class. Students evaluate models being presented.
  • Demonstrate kinetic model eg marbles on a tray, small mechanical kinetic theory model

Activities to practice applying new knowledge[]

  • AQA Progress Check Questions P1.1.2 [1]
  • AQA Progress Check Answers P1.1.2 [2]
