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. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

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.

This lesson is suitable for the AQA GCSE Chemistry and AQA Combined Science: Trilogy course (as well as the AQA GCSE Physics) as it is a lesson to recall and recap the different states of matter from KS3 science; as well as reinforce students understanding of their movement, energy and properties. When using this resource, I would suggest that: Students answer the ‘Knowledge Checks’ questions on Mini White Boards and without their notes – this is to act as a retrieval practice task and assess whether students are ready to move onto and learn the content of the lesson. *The questions will appear one-by-one when presenting to allow for use with MWBs. * The re-teach slide is positioned within each lesson to allow the teacher to immediately re-address any misconceptions or re-teach any sections that students are not able to recall from the ‘Knowledge Check’ questions. Students answer the ‘Check for Understanding’ questions on Mini White Boards and without any notes or their exercise books open. *The questions will appear one-by-one when presenting to allow for use with MWBs. * The ‘Independent Practice’ questions are completed in student exercise books - with the students working silently and independently. Answers to practice questions are included within the presentation and are revealed one at a time to help students self/peer mark their answers.

KS4 Science Edexcel iGCSE Revision Spread and Answer Sheet - Chemistry: States of Matter, Diffusion & Separating Mixtures. This A3 revision spread can be printed off and filled in to aid revision and help summarise the topic. A full answer sheet is provided which can be used to mark the filled in revision spread and can also be used as a revision poster.

CC1 lesson for the new Edexcel Science GCSE, looking at states of matter. Including: what the states of matter are, properties of the states of matter, particle theory, changes of state, predicting states of matter, cooling curve practical and heating curves.

This is a lesson which meets specification points within the WJEC GCSE ‘The Sciences’ Double Award (2026) spec, specifically from Unit 2.1 - Matter (Chemistry). The lesson starts with an overview of the key vocabulary which students will be learning and using this lesson. Students can stick their key word lists into their books before the lesson begins. This lesson begins with a recap on the differences between solids, liquids and gases in terms of the arrangement and movement of particles in each of these states of matter. Pupils complete a card sort activity to assess their knowledge on this topic and they can then self-assess their work using the answers provided. The next part of the lesson focuses on the transitions between states of matter, pupils are firstly reminding of the definitions of melting point, boiling point and freezing point. They will then watch a video on the the transition between states of matter, they will need to answer a set of questions whilst watching the video. This work can be assessed using the answers provided in the PowerPoint presentation. Using the knowledge from this task pupils can then consider why different substances have different melting/boiling points and why adding impurities to a substance may affect the melting/boiling point of a substance. The next part of the lesson focuses on energy transfers transfers between states of matter, pupils will firstly label a graph with statements to demonstrate what is happening to a substance as it is heated up over time. Pupils then consider, in depth, what is happening to the particles over this period of time, they can think > pair > share their ideas before the answers are revealed within the PowerPoint presentation using diagrams to illustrate the point. Pupils will then complete a set of questions on energy transfers between states of matter to assess their knowledge on the subject. This work can then be either self or peer assessed using the answers provided. The last part of the lesson is a task where pupils need to consider the limitations of the particle model of matter, again pupils can discuss in their groups what ideas they have on limitations of the model before some examples are revealed at the end of the presentation. The plenary task is for pupils to write a twitter message about what they have learnt today, including as many keywords as possible. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

Lesson I used for a mixed ability year 7 class so is full of differentiation. The worksheet is differentiated 3 ways, you just need to cut it into 5 parts. When I talk about 'particle stickers' I just gave the pupils some small circle stickers to use which they enjoyed :) Hope this is useful!
