Hi crew, I hope you find something useful here for your N5 Properties of Matter Topic. There are mindmaps of each section, learning outcome questions with fully worked answers, videos, questions etc. It isn’t the topic with the most resources. Get in touch below if I am missing something.
Another great song from Johnny Berliner
Not the best fit for a Properties of Matters song, but still lots of important material here. An explanation that the temperature of a material is a measure of the average Ek of its particles.
PhET does the Gas Laws
Change the mass, volume, pressure and temperature and see what happens to the other variables.
A comprehensive set of PROPERTIES OF MATTER notes for self study.

The complete worked answers for the Learning Outcome Properties of Matter Learning Outcome Questions for self study, but don’t cheat.
A 2 page summary note, but missing the modern version of Boyles Law and Pressure law and A bright 2 page set of summary notes for this topic. NB Please add “The length of the line for vaporisation should be longer than that for melting as more energy is required to change a liquid to a gas than a solid to a liquid.
A comprehensive set of HEAT notes for self study. Lovely colours and fill in the gaps. Loads of questions to practise.

A link to Mr Taylor’s excellent Delta Physics where you can use an app to test your learning.
An excel sheet containing results for each of the gas laws. The graphs aren’t in QS style, missing small crosses, good labels and major gridline.

IOP Properties of Matter ppp for a talk delivered by Mr Burke and Mrs Physics. Maybe more suitable for new teachers.
Gay-Lussac is incorrectly recognized for the Pressure Law which established that the pressure of an enclosed gas is directly proportional to its temperature and which he was the first to formulate (c. 1809). He is also sometimes credited with being the first to publish convincing evidence that shows the relationship between the pressure and temperature of a fixed mass of gas kept at a constant volume.
Maybe for the deception he should be sent to Pressure Cooker!
These laws are also known variously as the Pressure Law or Amontons’s law and Dalton’s law respectively.
Here is an experiment
Describe what will happen to the temperature of the beakers when the bags are placed in them.
Why are the bags left in the boiling water for a long time?
Why must you be quick moving the bags into the beakers of water at room temperature?
What would happen if water got trapped in the top of the bag when moving them?
Why are the materials crushed and not a solid lump?
Could this be used to find a value for the specific heat capacity? If so, how.
