PTT:
1) Turn to page 20 in your science notebook
2) Title the page: Changes of State, aka Phase Changes
3) Record the date
4) Record the goal - Goal: I can explain how matter changes. 5) Watch the following video to review the 3 states of matter, how they move, and what energy they have.
Task 1: Foldable
1) Get a piece of colored paper
2) Hold the paper the long way (think "landscape" instead of Portrait on Microsoft Word)
3) Fold it into 3 sections
4) Follow along as Ms. Davis shows you how to record the appropriate notes about changes of state
Task 2: Interactive and Response
1) Go to the following interactive activity - you will play around with this to see what happens you provide more energy to molecules (in the form of more heat) or take energy away from molecules (by removing heat/decreasing the temperature). Spend 5-10 minutes on this. Then go on to step 2. PhET: States of Matter
NOTES about this activity:
- the program will NOT work in Chrome
- you must have Java installed for this to work: click here to go to website for download
- You may need to change your security settings (in system preferences) to allow applications from anywhere (See picture below)
2) Once you are done, turn to page 21 in your science notebook.
3) Title the page - Reflection: Phase Change Activity
4) Record the date
(NOTE: the goal is the same as on page 20, so you don't need to write it again...unless you want to.)
5) Respond to one of the following prompts on page 21. Use AT LEAST 5 sentences.
- Explain what happens when thermal energy is added to liquid water molecules AND what happens when thermal energy is taken away.
- Jose says that he thinks it is possible for a gas to turn straight into a solid without becoming a liquid first. Maria says that a gas must become liquid before it can become solid. Based on what you know, evaluate this answers to determine who is likely correct and explain why you think so. Be sure to mention energy in your response.
- Water melts at 0°C and freezes at 0°C. Compare melting and freezing to explain how this is possible.
Task 3: Preview and Review
1) Watch science teacher Tyler DeWitt talk about a big misconception a lot of people have about boiling/evaporation:
2) Awesome - you've cleared up a major misconception! Now look over some of the following videos, games, and text links to review what we've learned and to learn some new information about phase changes. All of these have slightly different information (they look at different bits of content about phase changes), so I suggest looking at more than one to further your understanding.
I love these "bite size" science reviews from the BBC. They allow you to listen, watch, read (if you turn on captions), and interact to review content. I DEFINITELY recommend that everyone takes a look at this (click on the picture to get to the interactive video):
If you like to learn from videos, watch Tyler DeWitt teach about molecules and phase changes:
Try out this Quiz Game if you like to learn from interactive things or want to test what you've learned.
And for the visual learners, take a look at this simple image that is very similar to the foldable we created today:
