Science at key stage 3    (Year 7)

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

QCA

Out-of-school learning

Pupils could:

  • look for stories (not necessarily in a scientific context) in newspapers, magazines and on television and radio where evidence is collected and considered, so that they appreciate the variety of situations in which evidence is important
  • look for domestic and everyday contexts where gases, liquids and changes of state feature, in order to broaden their experience of the states of matter
