This online article delves into our the sun and planets were formed.

Introduction to passive and active transport

These four short online lessons will cover the following:

• The planets of the solar system
• Planet orbits in the solar system
• Gravity in the solar system
• Inner vs outer planets

This YouTube video will guide you through a fun activity where you will draw the earth's continents and oceans.

This online tutorial guides you through what information a map shows, map legends and the different types of maps which are available.

Outcomes

In this unit you will learn that: 

• Osmosis is the movement of a liquid from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until it reaches equilibrium.

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Osmosis helps regulate the flow of water in and out of cells, which is crucial to their function.

Other objects in the solar system are discussed in this online textbook viz. asteroids, meteorites, comets and dwarf planets.

The particle model of matter is one of the most useful scientific models because it describes matter in all three states. Understanding how the particles of matter behave is vital if we hope to understand science!

The model also helps us to understand what happens to the particles when matter changes from one state to another.

In this unit, you will explore the three phases of matter and then look at the properties and differences between them. You will explore their shape, volume, and kinetic energy.
