Physics Student's Book 1

Unit 1: States of Matter

Topics:
- States of matter
- Surface tension, osmosis, and capillarity
Learning outcomes:
- Understand that matter can exist in different states
- Perform tests to investigate surface tension, osmosis, and capillarity
- Predict based on the particle theory
- Use appropriate measures and interpret results
- Report findings
Attitudes:
- Show curiosity in carrying out experiments

Topic 1: States of Matter

Definition of matter: anything that occupies space and has mass
Matter can be classified into three states: solids, liquids, and gases
Composition of matter: made up of small particles called molecules
Physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases
Applications of physical properties of matter

Activity 1.1: To Describe Matter

Discuss and compare examples of matter with a partner
Osmosis: water molecules pass through a semi-permeable shell into an egg in a sugar solution

Cohesive and Adhesive Forces

Force of attraction between molecules of the same substance: cohesive force
Force of attraction between molecules of different substances: adhesive force
Examples:
- A free liquid drop is almost spherical
- A drop of water on a glass plate spreads out due to adhesion
- A drop of water on a waxed surface remains spherical due to weaker adhesion

Activity 2.6: To Determine Your Own Strength

Measure force using a spring balance
Record and compare readings with a partner
Determine the difference between your strengths
