ICSE Class 7 Chemistry, Unit 1: Matter and its Composition
From the CISCE curriculum. 3 key concepts, about 1 day of study at 20 to 30 minutes a day.
What this unit aims at
This theme focuses on informing and making children aware of the different types of matter/objects found in their surroundings such as stones, water, soil, oil, sugar, air. Some of them have common characteristics in terms of states, some are solids, liquids and some are gases. These states vary in their shape, volume and texture. All these are made up of some materials which have mass and occupy space. Children will also realize that the study of their composition is of great importance in their daily lives.
Your child should be able to
- describe matter
- discuss the constituents (atoms/molecules) of matter
- explain the forces which keep atoms/molecules in matter together
Key concepts in this unit
- Definition of matter.
- Matter has mass and occupies space - Explanation.
- Composition of matter – brief introduction
