Liquid resources

Students use a table of information on melting points and boiling points of six different substances to answer questions about states of matter.

Task: Select which state of water applies to a list of places where water can be found. Assessment focus: states of water.

Students use information on the properties of five different drinks in order to place them correctly into a key.

This task assesses students' understanding of the states of matter by requiring them to draw and label diagrams of water as a solid, liquid , and gas.

Students decide whether four statements about particular nature of matter are true or false and then give a reason for their answer.

Students demonstrate their knowledge of solid, liquid, and gas particles by drawing the particle arrangement for wax vapour, molten wax, and candle wax.

Students decide if each of three sentences about solids, liquids, and gases is true or false and then give a reason for their answer.

Students are given information and a diagram about a drink bottle overflowing when it had been put into the freezer. Students are asked to explain why this happened and how they could prevent it.

Students identify the solids, liquids, and gases in three short passages.

Students draw a graph from some information they are given about the heating of meths in a water bath. Students then explain in terms of particles what is happening for the sloping section and the flat section of the graph.

Students draw diagrams to show the particle arrangement in a solid, liquid, and a gas. Students then describe the differences in arrangement and movement of the particles for each of these states.

Using provided data students decide which of three liquids would freeze if placed in a freezer. Students explain what happens to particles when they freeze and how the level changes due to freezing.
