  Unit 4d:
Solids, Liquids and how they can be Separated

Describe the difference between solids and liquids; give everyday examples of melting / dissolving; explain why undissolved solids can be separated from a solution

 Use the Intel Microscope to observe solids (fine powders) that appear to behave as liquids.

Look at materials to see which would make the best filter; take time lapse pictures of ice melting or chocolate cooling.

Using the intel microscope, video materials mixing and dissolving e.g. water and cornflour.

Watch videos on States of Matter (vega.org.uk)

Use a computer simulation to carry out experiments online. (see websites below)
