1、Level 3 unit 1 part1ListeningMatter is made of atoms and molecules. Water, for example, is the H2O molecule. This means that a molecule of water has 3 atoms. A water molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Substances like sugar have many atoms in their molecules.A molecule of sugar has ma
2、ny atoms, including carbine, hydrogen and oxygen. -What is H2O?The water molecule.-What is matter made of? -Atoms and moleculesMatter is made of molecules such as the H2O which is the water molecule. Matter can be in one of 3 states, solid, liquid or gas.Water and ice are the same substance, but the
3、y are in different states.These states depend on the temperature of the molecules.When we heat a substance, the molecules move faster and try to take up more space. When we cool a substance, the molecules move more slowly.When we cool a substance to its freezing point, it becomes a solid.-How many s
4、tates of matter are there? -Three. -What happens when we heat a substance? the molecules move faster and try to take up more space. -What happens if we cool a liquid to its freezing point? It becomes a solid. In a solid, the molecules move very little. Their positions are almost fixed. To be fixed m
5、eans that their positions dont change. If we heat the molecules, they move faster and away from each other. The solid begins to melt, like ice cream on a hot day.-How can we change a solid into a liquid? heat it up. -How can we change a liquid into a solid? cool it down. -At a certain temperature, a
6、 solid begins to change into a liquid.The temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid depends on the substances. For water, the solid begins to change into a liquid when its temperature rises to above 0 degrees Celsius. For some substances, such as steel, the temperature at which it becomes a
7、 liquid is much higher. Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees Celsius. -At what temperature does ice begin to melt? Above 0 degree Celsius. -What does the temperature at which a substance begins to melt depend on? The substances. If we continue to heat a liquid, the molecules move even faster. At
8、 a certain temperature, the liquid begins to change into a gas.For water, the liquid begins to change into a gas at 100 degrees Celsius. That is the boiling point of water. -What happens if we continue to heat a liquid? Molecules move even faster. Inside a star, such as our sun, the temperature is v
9、ery high.Everything inside the sun is a gas. According to scientists, there are over 65 elements inside the sun.These include oxygen and iron. Over 90% of the sun is hydrogen gas. -How many elements are inside the sun? More than 65Yesterday, there was an important science test. Lisa, Tom and 20 othe
10、r classmates took the test. The test is about the states of matter and how they are different. There were 25 questions on the text and there had 45 minutes to take it. Here are some of the test result. 2 students got perfect scores. The lowest score was 68 out of 100. The average score was 86.3. 11
11、students score higher than average. 11 students have below the average scores. Tom missed 2 question on the test so his score was 92. His score was 8 highest in the class. Lisa missed 2 and a half question so her score is 90. Her score is 10 highest score. Her score is 4 points higher than the avera
12、ge score. Lisa was disappointed with her test results.She studied hard for the test but she still didnt do well. As a result, she plans to study harder for next test.The next test will be in about 2 weeks. Tom was surprised and happy with his results. He didnt study hard so his result was better tha
