This short online lesson discusses the planet Saturn

This short online lesson discusses the planet Uranus.

This short online lesson discusses the planet Venus.

In this unit you will learn about different materials by investigating and observing the behaviour of their properties. This will include learning about the differences between metals and non-metals; whether they are isolators or conductors of electricity and heat, whether they are magnetic, how dense they are and whether they are acidic or basic.

This online resource discusses the importance of the ocean, the layers and composition of the ocean and how it moderates climates.

This YouTube video explores both passive and active solar energy.

This online resource introduces the geocentric and heliocentric models. Exoplants, planets and their motions, planetary orbits, the role of gravity and how the solar system was formed are also covered. 

This short YouTube video introduces you to the planets which make up the solar system.

This fascinating video details the journey that a group of friends made in Nevada. Their aim was to illustrate the solar system to scale.

• Describe a molecular model for solids, liquids, and gases.
• Extend this model to phase changes.
• Describe how heating or cooling changes the behavior of the molecules.
• Describe how changing the volume can affect temperature, pressure, and state.
• Relate a pressure-temperature diagram to the behavior of molecules.
• Interpret graphs of interatomic potential.
• Describe how forces on atoms relate to the interaction potential.
• Describe the physical meaning of the parameters in the Lennard-Jones potential, and how this relates to the molecule behavior.
