The Particle Model and Temperature - Year 8 Science Lesson

Year 8 · Science · Lesson Plan · $3.99 AUD

A Year 8 science lesson plan on the particle model and temperature, set out as a 55–60 minute run-sheet. Students describe particle arrangement and motion in solids, liquids and gases, explain what heating does to particles and why ice melts, and use the particle model to explain why a warmed balloon expands. Modelled answers, a claim–evidence–reasoning task and an exit ticket are included.

Aligned to AC9S8U02 (Australian Curriculum).

Students will:
• Describe particle motion in solids, liquids and gases
• Explain how heating changes particle movement
• Use the particle model to explain changes of state
• Distinguish physical and chemical changes

A ready-to-use lesson plan, supplied as PDF, editable Word (DOCX) and PowerPoint (PPTX).
