Today, students continued to learn about the particle theory of matter. They completed an experiment using salt and water of varying temperatures. Students will complete their observations, diagrams, conclusion, and explanations over the weekend. We will work on our formal lab write-ups on Tuesday. Click here to practice the particle theory of matter simulation. Be sure to play around with the different states of matter at varying temperatures. What do you notice? What happens to the particles What happens to the space between them? What happens to the speed of the particles bumping into each other? |
- Arrive at school between 7:35 - 7:50. You will depart for Seymour Mountain as soon as your driver and all students have arrived.
- Make sure you remember all your ski/snowboarding clothing and equipment.
1.) MATH: Estimate the answers for the word problems handout. (click)
2.) SOCIAL STUDIES: If you didn't complete yesterday's 'BLACK HISTORY' PAR, you must complete this before doing todays.
3.) SCIENCE: Complete Science lab handouts.
4.) POST A RESPONSE:
- Today, you conducted an experimental inquiry into the particle theory of matter.
- Click here to try the simulation online (Click on the 'STATES' simulation once you enter).
- Make sure you play around with the simulation so you get a good sense of what happens when you cool or when you heat solids, liquids, and gases.
- Watch this video if you need to build more of you BK.
- Click here to read the handout on the particle theory of matter if you need to further build your BK.
- In your own words, explain the differences between solids, liquids, and gases using the particle theory of matter.
1.) Paragraph format (intro, supporting sentences, conclusion)
2.) Includes information from the above 3 points.
3.) Must explain the shape, volume, speed and space of particles of solids, liquids, and gases.
4.) Ask one student a question about their post and try to push their thinking forward!
5.) Answer any question posted by a student on anyone's post. Answer all unanswered questions
before responding to ones that have already been answered.
6.) Edit/revise your post if needed.
