They also learn about the uses of some important gases and where gases are found Air content in soil and air as good insulator of heat. Children will understand why observations and measurements are needed. Harmful effects of some gases and global warming.Recommended Vocabulary for this unit:Noble gases, helium, neon, argon, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas, advertisement, laserlights, food conservation and packaging, breathing, global warming, greenhouse effect,combustion, volume, compressed, atmosphere, breathe, photosynthesis, incandescent,poisonous, insulator,ContentsProperties ofmatter/gases.Learning Objectives State that matter is anything that hasmass and occupies space.Gases have mass and occupyspace.Differentiate between the three statesof matter (solid, liquid, gas) in terms ofshape and volume.Do gases have definite shapesand volume?Explain why gases have a pressure.Explain why it is possible to blow up aballoon or fill a gas syringe with gas.Gases around us. Changes in globalweather patterns and climate overlong periods of time. To raise pupils’ awareness of globalwarming (or global climate change).Understand that air is a mixture ofdifferent gases.Explain the uses of the gases present inthe air.Know that air is trapped in soil toActivityResourceWill measure mass andvolume using appropriateapparatus.WeighingmachineWill try to compress air insyringes or balloons.
