Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Water in the liquid state can change into water in the gas state (water vapour).
- In its gas state, water is invisible, can flow, has no fixed volume and takes the shape of the whole of its container.
- The process in which a liquid changes to a gas is called evaporation.
- Water can be observed changing from liquid to gas.
- We can change the state of a liquid to a gas by heating.
Common misconception
Water cannot exist in a gas form.
Teaching slides explain that water can exist as gaseous water vapour and the process of evaporation.
Keywords
Liquid - A liquid can flow, has a fixed volume and takes the shape of the bottom its container.
State - Materials can exist in three common states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
Gas - A gas can flow, has no fixed volume and takes the shape of the whole of its container.
Water vapour - Water is called water vapour when it is in the gas state.
Evaporation - Evaporation is the change of state from a liquid to a gas.
