G3 Science Unit 2 Mixing Materials

I can:

1. Know that the materials can be solids, liquids or gases.

2. Describe the differences in the properties of solids and liquids"

2.1 Solids, liquids, and gases

All materials are either solids, liquids, or gases.

Solids

Always stay the same shape unless they are compressed, stretched, twisted or bent.

Liquids

Change shape easily and take the shape of the container they are in.

Gases

Spread out in all directions to fill the space around them.

Air is a mixture of gases.

It mostly a gas called nitrogen but there is also some oxygen.

We need oxygen to breathe.

Nitrogen and oxygen have no colour so we can't see them.

Some gases do have a colour, and some have a smell.

I can:

1. Describe how to separate solid/solid mixtures based on the physical properties of the solids

2. Describe the differences in the properties of solids and liquids

When two or more materials are mixed together it is called a mixture.

​Look at this mixture of sand, rice and paperclips.
