Unit focus

  • Students compare shape, volume, flow, compression and diffusion, then use a particle model to explain why solids, liquids and gases behave differently.
  • Use evidence to compare shape, volume, flow and compressibility.
  • Watch for the misconception that particles in a solid do not move: they vibrate about fixed positions.
