Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Water vapour (water in the gas state) turns into a water in the liquid state when it is cooled.
- The process in which water changes from the gas to the liquid state is called condensation.
- We can change the state of a gas to a liquid by cooling.
- Water can be observed changing from gas state to liquid state when cooled.
Common misconception
Water cannot exist in a gas form. Condensation is the same as rain or only occurs during cold weather. Dew is formed by liquid escaping from plants.
Teaching slides explain that water can exist as gaseous water vapour and how condensation forms.
Keywords
Gas - A gas can flow, has no fixed volume and takes the shape of the whole of its container.
State - Materials can exist in three common states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
Liquid - A liquid can flow, has a fixed volume and takes the shape of the bottom of its container.
Water vapour - Water is called water vapour when it is in the gas state.
Condensation - Condensation is the change of state where a gas changes into a liquid.
