1.2 Qualitative Properties

By the end of these lessons you must be able to:

• Define and provide examples for qualitative properties

• Describe properties are observable

• Demonstrate safety in the lab and follow instructions for virtual labs

Virtual Lab Practice Outcomes

• Describe differences and similarities between solids, liquids and gases on a molecular level

• Introduce the impact of gas pressure in relation to the Kinetic Theory

• Determine processes you could use to make solids, liquids and gases change phases.

• Compare and contrast the behaviour of the 4 substances in the simulation and use your understanding about molecules to explain your observations.
