OBJECTIVES: Students will understand the major States of Matter
ASSIGNMENT #4 MUST DO: PhET Simulation "States of Matter"
ASSIGNMENT #4 MUST DO: PhET Simulation "States of Matter"
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the "States of Matter Activity Packet" into Google Docs 2. Find a partner in class to do this activity with 3. Do the Predictions Section of the assignment first - talk to your partner and compare answers. Be sure to write answers in complete sentences. Also, use the pen tool to draw what you think the particles look like. Have Mrs. Smith sign off on your Predictions before moving forward. 4. Launch the pHet simulation above. You may want to have the simulation on one person's computer and the assignment on the other person's computer OR use Dualless so you can see both screens at the same time. 5. Review the parts of the States Screen simulation on the left. Practice using each control. 6. With your partner read through the experiment portion of the assignment before starting - ask questions if you are not sure what to do. 7. Together with your partner work through each step of the experiment using the States Screen. Be sure to write answers in complete sentences. Also, use the pen tool to draw what you think the particles look like. Think through each step very carefully. 8. Review the parts of the Phase Changes Screen simulation on the left. Practice using each control. 9. Together with your partner work through the remaining steps of the experiment using the Phase Changes Screen. Be sure to write answers in complete sentences. Also, use the pen tool to draw what you think the particles look like. Think through each step very carefully. 10. Carefully think through the Making Connections Section. 11. Once you have completed the activity packet of the simulation, upload your Activity Packet to CANVAS. |
