Processes of the planet
Learners explore the changing states of matter and the physical and chemical processes which influence Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. They learn about climate change as a natural process in time as well as the result of human activity. Through connections with collaborative studies of landscape, weather and climate in social studies they build up an integrated picture of the dynamic nature of Earth.

By investigating how water can change from one form to another, I can relate my findings to everyday experiences.

|
I can apply my knowledge of how water changes state to help me understand the processes involved in the water cycle in nature over time.
|
By contributing to experiments and investigations, I can develop my understanding of models of matter and can apply this to changes of state and the energy involved as they occur in nature.
|
I have developed my understanding of the kinetic model of a gas. I can describe the qualitative relationships between pressure, volume and temperature of gases.

|
I can explain some of the processes which contribute to climate change and discuss the possible impact of atmospheric change on the survival of living things.
|
Through exploring the carbon cycle, I can describe the processes involved in maintaining the balance of gases in the air, considering causes and implications of changes in the balance.
