Handout Chapter 1 — 4

1. Prefixes

Prefixes

• Why do we use prefixes?
  
• Name several prefixes
• Know the symbol of the most important prefixes
• Converting one prefix into another — for example convert decimeter into nanometers

2. Imperial vs metric units

Imperial units vs metric units

• Know the unit system we use in Europe (metric)
  
• Name a country where they use imperial units
  
• Converting imperial units<-> metric units 

3. States of matter

States of matter

•  Name the three states of matter and their properties
• Describe what a phase change is
• Recognise phase changes in specific situations
• Explain how a phase change works
•  Explain what is meant by internal kinetic energy
•  Explain why a phase change diagram is flat during the phase changes

4. Atoms

Atoms

• Explain what is meant by an atom
  
• Name the four names of the models of an atom
  
• Explain the Rutherford experiment in your own words
  
• Describe the structure of the Bohr model
  
•  Name the three components of an atom
  
•  Explain what component determine the type of element, the mass of an element and the charge of an element
  
•  Know the basis of the organisation of the periodic table

How to study

• Rewatch the videos — take notes
  
• Read the information in the hand out
  
• Do the exercises — the answers will be online
  
• Practice using the Phet simulation
  
• Make summary
  

It's learning
