Particle Model: States of Matter

(0)
Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on States of Matter, Particle Model (Kinetic Theory), and Changes of State for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. As a Secondary Science teacher and Deputy Headteacher for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Two Starter / Do Now activities so you can extend this over two lessons if needs be. • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. Learning objectives: Describe the states of matter – the properties of solids, liquids and gases. Describe the changes of state between the different states of matter. Describe kinetic theory - how the particles are arranged and move in solids, liquids and gases. Link the forces between particles to the arrangement and movement of the particles and to the properties of solids, liquids and gases. Explain why mass is conserved when a change of state occurs. Written for AQA GCSE Science and Physics but likely to be applicable to other exam specifications and certainly adaptable for a more able KS3 class.

Note that Required Practical lessons are not included. June 2026: I am currently rewriting these resources as in their current form they are my oldest and no longer match my current standards. I have already uploaded a new version of Gas Pressure, Temperature and Volume and will be uploading new versions of most / all of the lessons. Anyone who has purchased the current versions should be able to download the new versions for no extra charge once they are available.

Every day in school is a step toward your future. This powerful and informative 26-slide assembly explores the real impact of attendance on academic success, mental wellbeing, relationships, and long-term opportunities in education and employment. This Assembly Covers: Why attendance matters – not just for grades, but for confidence, friendships, and future readiness The connection between attendance and exam results, supported by UK-based DfE and Ofsted data How poor attendance increases learning gaps and affects long-term outcomes like college entry and job prospects A look at the Forgetting Curve and why missing lessons leads to faster memory loss Common barriers to attendance (including anxiety, illness, and disengagement) – and practical strategies to overcome them The role of attendance in building habits employers respect, like reliability, commitment, and time-keeping Reflection questions and realistic, future-focused activities for students of all attendance levels Fully editable and ready to adapt to your school’s context Empower students to see that showing up is more than a number — it’s a habit that builds success.

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Chemistry! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about how the particle model explains the properties of the three states of matter. Students will state the properties of a substance in its three states, draw and describe the arrangement of particles in the three states of matter, and use ideas about particles to explain the properties of a substance in its three states. The resource includes a detailed and engaging lesson PowerPoint with differentiated activities, quizzes and class practical activities for students to complete. This resource is part of the Particles and their behaviour topic and has been created for the delivery of the Activate KS3 Science course. Also great for KS2 Science. 32 slides in total for the lesson PPT

The perfect resource specially designed for KS3 Science lessons! This bundle includes five fully differentiated and resourced lessons, created to captivate students curiosity through creative and practical learning. These lessons provide fun and interactive ways for students to learn about particles! This bundle comes complete with the following fully differentiated and resourced lessons for the topic: Lesson 1: The particle model - Students will state what materials are made up of, describe simply what the particle model of matter is, and explain why different materials have different properties. Lesson 2: States of matter - Students will state the properties of a substance in its three states, draw and describe the arrangement of particles in the three states of matter, and use ideas about particles to explain the properties of a substance in its three states. Lesson 3-5: Changes of state Lesson 3: Melting and freezing Students will recognise the state of a substance in relation to its melting and boiling point, explain changes of state in terms of changes to the energy of the particles, and draw before and after diagrams to explain observations about changes of state. Lesson 4: Boiling Students will describe simply how changes of temperature or state can be described in terms of particles transferring energy, recognise the state of a substance in relation to its melting and boiling point, and explain changes of state in terms of changes to the energy of the particles. Lesson 5: More changes of state Students will describe the difference between boiling and evaporation, explain changes of state in terms of changes to the energy of the particles, and draw before and after diagrams of particles to explain observations about changes of state. Lessons include engaging and detailed PowerPoint Presentations with differentiated activities, worksheets, quizzes and class practical activities for students to complete. Also great for KS2 Science.

Provide students with hands-on opportunities to construct a fundamental understanding of matter. This understanding includes the ideas that everything is made of matter, different matter has different properties that make them unique and useful in different ways, material can be sorted and described by their properties, and matter is made of smaller parts called molecules and atoms. The specific properties explored include: magnetism, opacity, density, elasticity, conductivity, and buoyancy.
