This immersive program delves into the mysteries of matter, exploring the different states of materials and how changes in heat can affect their size and properties. With engaging liquid nitrogen experiments and exciting hands-on activities, your students will unlock the secrets of the physical world.
Following this 48 minute video, 19 x short form videos & student experiments & activities, your students will;
- Know that states of matter can change when matter is heated or cooled.
- Know that:
> Boiling is a change from a liquid to a gas
> Freezing is a change from a liquid to a solid
> Melting is a change from a solid to a liquid
> Condensation is a change from a gas to a liquid
> Sublimation is a change from a solid to a gas
> Deposition is a change from a gas to solid
- That most materials expand when they are heated.
- That most materials contract when they are cooled.
- That some materials can shatter when force is applied to them when they are very cold.
- That liquid nitrogen is -196 degrees Celsius.
- That liquid nitrogen expands over 600 times when it boils.
