States of Matter

Extra Credit: Bring in balloons

Monday:
Goal: Explore and explain the nature and behavior of the states of matter.
1.) Hot, Medium and Cold colored water demonstration.
2.) Frictionless Ping Pong Ball analogy, and United Streaming Frictionless Magic School Bus video.
3.) Temperature Gizmos: Determine how the various factors impact the amount of water in the liquid state. Temperature, Altitude, Ice Volume. What is the quickest way to boil all water starting at 0 celsius? What is the quickest way to freeze all of the water starting at 0 celsius.
4.) Reading and discussing key points in chapter 13.
5.) Barometer Recording and Calculations.

Tuesday+Wednesday (Wednesday: Test Handback and rework problems)
Goal: Students will make heating water and cooling water graphs. (get as many hot plates and water baths as possible.)
1.) Record the temperature every 30 secs to make a heating water graph. Record temperature every 5 minutes to make a cooling water graph.
2.) Each group will do 4 different solutions (water, 1M sugar water (1 mole in a liter), 2 M (2 moles in a liter) sugar water, and saturated solution of salts.
3.) Students make tables and graphs for their data using excel.
4.) Barometer reading and calculations.

Thursday and Friday:
Goal: Explore and explain the nature and behavior of the states of matter.
1.) Use pasta box as an example:
2.) Altitude vs. Boiling data collection from phase change gizmo. Students make a table and write a conclusion/explanation that is read aloud in class.
3.) Reading 13.2 and 13.3.
4.) Small Scale Lab with petri dishes.
5.) Barometer calculations and reading.

Monday (Boiling Point Lab Finish, Go over HW, Petri Dish Lab, Test Concepts) and Tuesday (Altitude and boiling point, Go over homework, Sublimator, Test Concepts)
Goal: Read phase diagrams and describe sublimation.
1.) Barometer calculations and paragraph explanation/summary of so far.
2.) Small scale sublimation lab.
3.) Temperature and Thermal Expansion lab with aluminum strips.
3.) Student answer questions out of chapter 13.

Wednesday and Thursday
1.) Nature of state of matter test.(Chapter 13)
2.) Create a table: Circumference vs. Breath number.
3.) Create a table: Circumference vs. temperature. After blowing the balloon all the way up.
4.) Create a table: Circumference vs. depth under water. (Three depths in the water: Top, middle, bottom)

Friday and Monday
1.) Make graphs of the tables from Wednesday. (Include one paragraph summary and conclusion for each table).
2.) Gas Law problems.
