Heating solids
Learning Objectives: Starter - DISCUSS
• List materials that are good
heat conductors and good
heat insulators
Why do we put on
• Explain conduction in terms of clothes when we
the particle model of matter
• Explain why materials expand
are cold?
when they are heated
Is it because they
produce heat?
The particle model
The particle model - Kinetic particle theory
The kinetic particle theory explains the properties of the different
states of matter. The particles in solids, liquids and gases have different
amounts of energy. They are arranged differently and move in different
ways.

Particle motion and movement
• In a solid, particles have strong forces of attraction and vibrate in fixed regular positions.
• In a liquid, particles are close but can move past each other in irregular arrangements,
randomly and at low speeds.
• In a gas, there are no forces of attraction between particles. Particles have the most energy
and move randomly at high speed.

TASK: Copy
and complete
the following
table:
Copy these tables and state the reason for their properties. Use the solids as an example:
Changes in state of matter
Copy and complete the following diagram:
Heating solids
Observe the demo
Mr Santamaria is
going to carry out.

What are your

predictions?
Objects expand when heated

THINK:
HOW CAN THE RISE OF THE
EARTH’S TEMPERATURE AFFECT
WATER LEVELS?
