Particle Model: States of Matter

£3.30
(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.

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 :)

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. 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. These high quality lessons include explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions.

Lessons Included in this no-prep bundle: Density States of Matter, Kinetic Theory, Changes of State Latent Heat, Heating and Cooling Curves / Graphs Internal Energy Specific Heat Capacity (this is also included in the Energy topic bundle, as per the exam spec, and can be taught in either topic) Latent Heat of Fusion and Vaporisation Gas Pressure, Temperature and Volume (new lesson June 2026) A typical lesson includes: Starter / Do Now Activity Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. Worked examples of calculations if applicable. 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.

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. All of the above are applicable to both AQA (9-1) Combined Science and Physics but are very likely to be fully applicable for other exam boards. Some lessons are not required for Combined Science, so I have included them at no extra cost.

States of matter and changing state

£3.00

This is an informative and engaging lesson, which has been designed for GCSE but is perfectly suitable for younger students who are studying the states of matter. Students will have encountered this topic at KS3 and potentially before, and therefore the aim of this lesson is to consolidate that knowledge and to deepen in critical areas. A number of quick competitions have been written into the lesson to maintain engagement and to test prior knowledge in a different way. In addition, progress checks are found at regular intervals so that students can constantly assess their understanding. The start of the lesson looks at the different properties of the three states and ensures that particle diagrams are not only recognised but can be explained. A lot of students consider elements to be in one state only at all times and therefore time is taken to show them how the specific temperature is the determining factor on the state. Students are guided through using the melting and boiling points to determine which state a substance is in at a given temperature. The rest of the lesson focuses on changing state and the change in the particles at each of these stages.

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!
