ICSE Class 6 Chemistry, Unit 3: Matter
From the CISCE curriculum. 4 key concepts, about 2 days of study at 20 to 30 minutes a day.
What this unit aims at
This theme focuses on enabling children to understand that matter around exists in different physical forms.ie. solids, liquids and gases. One form can be converted into another. Matter expands on heating and on cooling, it contracts. Besides the physical changes, matter can also undergo chemical changes on heating.
Your child should be able to
- discuss the properties of solids, liquids and gases
- classify the matter into solid, liquid and gas
- discuss the inter-conversion of one state of matter into another
- explain the effect of heat on matter showing change of state, expansion and chemical change
Key concepts in this unit
- States of Matter Classification of matter into solid, liquid and gas on the basis of properties (shape, volume). Factors responsible for the existence of matter in different states.
- Arrangement of atoms/ molecules in solids, liquids and gases: - intermolecular space, cohesive forces).
- There is space between the particles of matter.
- Effect of heat on matter (expansion, change of state and chemical change)
Teach this unit at home
- A day-by-day plan from the CISCE concepts, so you know what to cover each day.
- A step-by-step script for each day, so you know what to say and ask (AI-written from the CISCE curriculum, so check it against your child's school book).
- A quiz at the end.
