3 free states of matter & materials resources for Year 8: 2 worksheets, 1 study guide. Answers included.
Solids, liquids and gases, properties of materials and changes of state. Year 8 extends algebra to expanding brackets and two-step equations, adds percentages increase and decrease, ratio and rates, index laws and congruence.
Students will practise: describing the arrangement and movement of particles in solids, liquids and gases; using the particle model to explain properties such as shape, volume and compressibility; naming and explaining changes of state; explaining why temperature stays constant during melting and boiling; explaining diffusion, gas pressure and expansion with the particle model; calculating density from mass and volume; rearranging the density formula to find mass or volume; measuring volume by calculation and by water displacement.
Printable practice with an answer sheet.
