The Magic World of Bubbles: Exploring Bubbles and Gas
Stage 3
Definitions• Gas: Is like air, you can’t see it but it fills the space it is in (LoveToKnow
Corp, 2014a; Merriam-Webster, 2014b).• Solid: Shape and size don’t change. The particles it is made-of are packed
close together (Farlex, 2014d; Marie, 2014b). • Liquid: Made up of atoms that are packed together like a solid but
can move easily among together. They don’t have a set shape and do not separate like a gas. They are able to change to look like the shape of a container (TechTarget, 2014).
• Mass: A measurement that is used to find out how much of something is in an object (MathsIsFun, 2013).
• Bubbles: Pockets of air that are covered in a liquid (Chow, 2013).• Colloid: Minuscule particles that are so small and can’t be seen by the
human eye. Some examples of colloids include; bubbles, fog, mayonnaise, meringue and cream. Colloids are solids and liquids at the one time (Scientific American, 2014).
Definitions Continued…• Atom: The smallest part of an element, containing a ‘nucleus of protons and
neutrons with electrons orbiting this nucleus’ (Marie, 2014a).• Molecule: A small particle (Farlex, 2014c).• Carbon Dioxide: An odourless gas that we breathe out of our lungs
(Charlesworth & Lind, 2010).• Surface Tension: The pressure that causes the particles on the top of a liquid to
be pushed together (Merriam-Webster, 2014c).• Gravity: The force that makes everything that goes up to go back down to Earth
(LoveToKnow Corp, 2014b). • Composition: The way in which something is made up (Oxford University Press,
2014).• Boiling point: The temperature (100°C) a substance changes from a liquid to a
gas (ScienceDaily, 2014).• Condensation: When a substance changes from a gas into a liquid because of
the temperature change (Education Portal, 2014).
Definitions Continued…• Evaporation: The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas
(Education Portal, 2014b).• Solution: A mixture of two or more substances (Marie, 2014c). • Chemical Reaction: When two or more substances are mixed together
resulting in a change to their characteristics creating a new substance (Charlesworth & Lind, 2011).
• Physical Change: When the look of a solid, liquid or gas looks different but what it is made-of doesn’t change (Charlesworth & Lind, 2011).
• Reversible Change: A change that can be reversed back to original state, usually a physical change (AAS, 2012).
• Irreversible Change: A change that cannot be reversed back into its original state, usually a chemical change (AAS, 2012).
