GRADE 6 NS and Tech 2016 Term 2 natural sciences & Technology GRADE 6 Term 2 Strand 2 natural sciences : Matter and Materials Technology: Processing Introduction Solids, liquids and gases are the tree main states of matter. Materials and substances are made of matter. Matter is made of particles. The way the particles are arranged makes the matter a solid, liquid or gas. It is also possible to mix different types of particles together in their different states.

GRADE 6 NS and Tech 2016 Term 2 Unit 1 Arrangements of Particles: Solids, Liquids and Gases lesson 1 Scientists use the word matter to talk about what everything around you is made of. Even you are made of matter. All materials and substances are made of matter. Matter is made of very small particles.

7 How small is the particle? - Hold a piece of paper in your hand. - Hold it level with your eyes. - Notice that the paper is very thin - Paper is made of millions and millions of particles - A piece of paper is 10 000 particles thick. A particle is the smallest part of a substance Solids, Liquids and Gases Particles move. Particles move all the time. Sometimes they move slowly, sometimes they move fast. The speed and distance they move in determines if the material or substance is a solid, a liquid or a gas. The particles in solids, liquids and gases are all arranged differently. Solids When matter is solid it has a fixed shape. The particles of solids are packed closely together.

8 There is very little space between the particles. The particles vibrate or move in one place. A five rand coin is a solid object. It is made of metal. Can you push your finger through a coin? the particles are packed so closely together you cannot push them apart. Liquids Matter in the liquid state is able to flow. The substance will take on the shape of the container it is in. the particles are packed close together, but they have no fixed shape. There are small spaces between the particles. The particles can move around each other. 8 Tom Newby School . GRADE 6 NS and Tech 2016 Term 2 Gas When matter is in the gas state it fills the available space around it.

9 The particles in gas are far apart from each other and move fast. There is a lot of space between the particles. The particles move in all directions. Air is a gas that fills the room, a balloon or even a whole atmosphere. Summary Matter is made of particles which are moving all the time. There are spaces between the particles of matter. Particles move faster when we add heat to them. In solids, the particles of matter are held close together and move slowly. In liquids, the particles are further apart and can move faster. In gases, the particles are far apart and move very fast and freely. Activity 1 - Questions Identify the type of matter represented by: 1.

10 Standing close together. 2. Spread out holding hands. 3. Running around each other. ======================================== ============================ Unit 2 Mixture: Mixtures of Materials lesson 2 - Mixtures When two or more different substances (or materials) are combined the result is a mixture. The substances or materials can be in the solid, liquid or gas state. Sometimes the different substances or materials are still visible after mixing. Sometimes they are not visible. Examples of Mixtures If you mix two solids together, you can usually see the different solids after mixing. For example, if you mix sugar and tea leaves you will see the sugar and the tea leaves.
