Carbon dioxide gas is one of the gases in our atmosphere.

The atmosphere is the air that surrounds planet Earth.

A gas is a substance  that is not a solid or a liquid.  Gases have no fixed shape and are often invisible.

To capture something is to take it and hold it.

A liquid can flow, has a fixed volume and takes the shape of the bottom of its container.

Pupils learn about the properties of the different states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) in terms of the particle model, including gas pressure,. and about changes of state in terms of the particle model

pupils use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, demonstrate that changes of state are reversible changes, and explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning 

This unit examines our climate and the factors affecting it. Emphasis is on using data,  taking precise measurements, recording data, and presenting findings.
