- Outline how solids, liquids and gases are built, covering how far apart their particles sit, how those particles are laid out, and how they move
- Describe and account for the way substances change state (melting, boiling, evaporation, freezing and condensing), using kinetic particle theory
- Describe and account for how temperature and pressure act on a gas's volume, drawing on kinetic particle theory
