2011 - Term 2

After learning the basics, we moved on to other topics.

Topics:
  • Diversity
    • Classification of Matter
    • States of Matter
    • Kinetic Theory of Matter
    • Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
  • Interactions
    • Solutions and Suspensions
    • Separation Techniques
I learnt more about elements and their uses, and also how they can be combined to create new substances.
I learnt about Brownian motion, where a gas particle is constantly in motion, all the time. Also, I learnt about different separation techniques used to separate different types of mixtures, such as paper chromatography, filtration, evaporation, distillation and magnetic attraction.
A gas particle moves constantly because other air particles
are colliding against it.
