2.3 Carry out activities to show the A student is able to Physical boiling - pendidihan
Analysing the change in state of matter in processes condensation - kondensasi
effect of heat on physical processes. • state the change in state includes melting, evaporation - penyejatan
matter of matter in physical boiling, freezing, freezing - pembekuan
Discuss processes. evaporation, melting - peleburan
(i) the effects of heat on the state • explain that change in condensation and process – proses
of matter state of matter involves sublimation. reference – rujukan
(ii) examples of daily observation absorption and release sublimation -
which shows a change in state of heat. pemejalwapan
of matter. • give examples of daily
observations which
show a change in state
of matter.

2.4 Discuss the use of expansion
Applying the and contraction of matter in the
principles of following:
expansion and
contraction of a) mercury in a thermometer
matter b) the bimetallic strip in a fire
alarm.
c) gaps in railway tracks
d) rollers in steel bridges.
Discuss the use of the principle of
expansion and contraction of
matter to solve simple problems.
A student is able to bimetallic strip – jalur

the use of expansion pengembangan
and contraction of contraction - pengecutan
matter in daily life. fire alarm – alat penggera
• apply principle of kebakaran
expansion and rollers – penggolek
contraction of matter in steel bridges – jambatan
solving simple logam
problems.
