Course Curriculum
States of Matter Students explore and compare the physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases. They gain a deep understanding of how each state differs in terms of shape, volume, and compressibility. |
Kinetic Particle Model Using the kinetic particle model, students delve into the microscopic world of matter. They analyze the arrangement and motion of particles (molecules, atoms) to explain the observable properties of solids, liquids, and gases. |
Brownian Motion Through Brownian motion, students discover the evidence for the random movement of molecules in liquids or gases. This experiment enhances their comprehension of molecular motion within substances. |
Temperature and Kinetic Energy Students explore the fascinating relationship between temperature and the average kinetic energy of particles within substances. As substances heat up, particles gain energy and exhibit more rapid motion. |
Pressure of Gases This topic dives into the explanation of gas pressure in terms of the motion of gas particles. Students learn that an increase in the frequency and force of particle collisions against container walls results in higher gas pressure. |
