Unit 2: The Theories Matter
(The behaviour of matter can be explained by the kinetic molecular theory and atomic theory)
Lesson Breakdown
Note: Ms. Au sometimes teaches this unit in a slightly different order than the textbook. (usually 2.1 --> 2.3 --> 2.2 --> 2.4) They will be listed below in the order they are taught.
Note: Looking for WHMIS or HHPS class materials? Look under "Unit A: Science Safety".
1: Intro to Chemistry/What is Matter?
2: States of Matter and the KMT (Topic 2.3)
3: How can we investigate and explain the composition of atoms? (Topic 2.4)
4: Physical and Chemical Properties (Topic 2.2)
