• TLF-IDL5825

Test your understanding of the particle nature of matter. From a number of particle-level views of substances, choose the one that fits the type of matter required: solid, liquid, gas, pure substance, mixture, element, compound. For example, distinguish an element from a mixture and a pure compound. This learning object ...

This is a student digital resource that contains interactive materials relevant to a study of light, sound, and electricity. This resource contains a rich array of digital interactive activities, simulations, video clips, supportive information and notebook questions, and is divided into several parts including sections ...

• TLF-IDL9128

Heat ice and record the temperature and states of water at specified times. Plot a graph of temperature against time and relate sections of the graph to the states of water. Observe animations of water particles over time and explain the shape of the graph in terms of particle theory. This learning object is the first in ...

• TLF-IDM015797

All substances are made up of tiny particles. A change in temperature can change the way these particles behave. Watch as the Surfing Scientist demonstrates how a gas behaves when it is heated. Find out whether the balloon gets sucked or pushed into the bottle!

• TLF-IDL9126

Select a substance such as iodine and explore how physical changes of state can be brought about by supplying heat energy to the substance. Observe what happens when heat energy is removed. Observe the changes of state at both the physical and particle levels. Explain the different properties of solids and gases in terms ...

• TLF-IDM012513

This PDF unit of work is one of a series of resources accessible by searching the list in the series.It includes two teaching and learning sequences: 'Water journeys' focuses on the water cycle, and 'Pure water' focuses on the processes and people involved in creating and managing drinkable water. It provides Australian ...

• TLF-IDL1492

Experiment with phase transformations of water. Heat a block of ice to ten degrees Celsius. Predict changes to the molecular structure and motion. Look closely at movement of the water molecules, especially at the surface. Explore relationships between temperature, molecular speed and states of matter. This learning object ...

• TLF-IDL10380

Experiment with some gas trapped in an air chamber. Notice how the gas is made of particles. Investigate the speed and collisions of the air particles. Discover what happens to them as you change the temperature. Observe how this affects the properties of the gas. For example, measure the change in pressure as you heat ...

• TLF-IDL1493

Experiment with phase transformations of water. Heat a beaker of water to boiling point. Predict changes to the molecular structure and molecular motion. Look closely at movement of the water molecules, especially at the surface. Explore relationships between temperature, molecular speed and states of matter. This learning ...

• TLF-IDL9129

Predict the shape of the graph when water vapour is cooled to solid ice. Observe physical and particle animations of the changes that occur during cooling and confirm prediction of graph shape. This learning object is the second in a series of two sequential objects that are also available as a combined learning object.
