Introduction

Dear student,

You are welcome to the module of Properties of Matter and Thermodynamics". 

This Module deals with basic concepts and principles of properties of matter and thermodynamics. It provides a working knowledge of elastic properties of matter, hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, basic concepts of heat and thermodynamics, laws of thermodynamics, and elements of the kinetic theory of gases. 

The main aim of the module is to allow you to explain properties of matter and thermodynamics phenomena, solve problems, perform experiments related to properties of matter and thermodynamics, and apply teaching and learning strategies related to properties of matter and thermodynamics. Click here for Indicative content, learning outcomes,  assessment tasks, and indicative resources of the module.
