Beaconhouse School System

The PARTICLE MODEL OF MATTER Class:VII Subject: Science

Duration: 40MIN Date:

 Attainment target: Explain the changes in state and diffusion using the particle model of matter

Learning Outcome: (Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes)

 Investigate the factors that affect the rate of diffusion. (surface area, time given to diffuse and the temperature of the water).
 Observe diffusion of Potassium Manganate crystals/blue ink drops/copper sulphate crystals/food dye/tea leaves in water.

Introduction:
verbal response
Students’ prior knowledge on changes of state will be collected
5 verbal response
by asking them what is required for any change in matter to
happen (change in temperature). Students’ feedback will be
taken along with their real-life examples.

Development; Group work: Students in group will be asked to Students’ responses will be taken
Taken the feedback by verbal
read Q1 from W.bkpg#56 and then individually write the ans in 10

Group work: The whole class will be divided into 4 group (5 Students’ responses will be noted on the board.

 They will observe the diffusion of tea leaves in

Students’ responses will be noted on the board 15
 They will also observe the haphazard motion of Beakers -4 in form of whole class discussion

Lesson Evaluation
Strengths Areas for improvement

Identify a way forward to improve this lesson:

Instruction Cards:

Problem: How is diffusion affected by hot and coldtemperature:

Materials:
Food coloring (red & blue)2 clear glass cups of the exact same size and shape2 differently shaped clear containers (narrow and wide),
preferably about the same size

Procedure:
Temperature Difference
1. Fill one glass cup with hot water. Fill the second glass cup with cold water.

2. Drop 1-2 drops of red food coloring in the hot cup, and 1-2 drops of blue food coloring in the cold in the cold one.

3. Watch and wait for color to disperse entirely.
