1. Matter and Its Properties



  • Key Topics:
    • States of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma)
    • Physical and chemical properties of matter
    • Changes of state (melting, boiling, freezing, condensation, sublimation)
    • Classification of matter (elements, compounds, mixtures)
  • Activities:
    • Interactive simulations of particle motion in different states of matter
    • Lab activity: Identifying physical vs. chemical changes
  • Assessment: Quiz on classification and properties of matter
