Science at key stage 3    (Year 7)

Unit 7G: Particle model of solids, liquids and gases

QCA

Prior learning

It is helpful if pupils:

  • have experience of identifying solids, liquids and gases and describing the properties of each
  • know that the same material can exist as a solid, liquid and gas
  • have observed that melting solids and freezing liquids are the opposite of each other
  • have observed situations in which evaporation and condensation take place
