Grade 7 Science

The grades 7’s have been studying Heat and Temperature.  They have examined the behaviour of particles in the 3 states of matter and they have been using thermometers and learning how they work scientifically. They will be having a quiz this week on the material covered to date. Below is a review list that we went over as a class to help them study.

  • What is Matter?
  • 3 States of Matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas
  • How do the particles behave in each state ?(move, space, attraction)
  • How does heat affect particles?
  • Thermometer and the parts (bulb, stem, scale etc.)
  • How does a thermometer work? – expansion, contraction
  • Changes of States of Matter (melting, freezing etc.)
