Chemistry made simple – properties of matter
At the Science Learning Hub, we know teaching chemistry can feel a bit overwhelming. In this recorded professional learning session, Greta Dromgool takes you step by step through key ideas associated with physical and chemical properties, including:
identifying properties of a range of different materials
grouping materials based on observed or measured properties
exploring additional resources available to support you
