6.2: Matter & Energy 3 Dimensions & Progressions

Unit 3

STANDARD 6.2.2 & 6.2.3

●​ 6.2.2 Develop a model to predict the effect of heat energy on states of matter and density . Emphasize the arrangement of particles in states of matter (solid, liquid or gas) and during phase changes (melting, freezing, condensing, and evaporating.) MS-PS1-4 ●​ 6.2.3 Plan and carry out an investigation to determine the relationship between temperature changes and varying types or amounts of matter . Emphasize recording and evaluating data, and communicating the results of the investigation. MS-PS1-4

CONCEPTS

SKILLS

●​ States of Matter ●​ Properties of Matter

●​ Develop a Model ●​ Predict ●​ Plan Investigation

●​ Effect of Heat on States of Matter ●​ Particle arrangement in Different States of Matter

●​ Carry out Investigation ●​ Determine Relationships ●​ Record Data ●​ Evaluate Data ●​ Communicate results

LEARNING PROGRESSION

●​ Matter comes in different forms (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) ●​ Each form of matter has different properties ●​ Properties of matter change with heat energy ●​ Model ​ VOCABULARY ●​ Volume ●​ Mass ●​ Density ●​ Condensation ●​ Solid ●​ Gas ●​ Liquid

●​ Evaporation ●​ Freezing ●​ Melting

POSSIBLE PHENOMENA

●​ Phase change from ice to water to steam ●​ A basketball loses its bounce when it is left out in the cold. ●​ Food coloring moves differently in hot water than cold water. ●​ Chocolate chips get soft if you hold them in your hand for a few minutes.
