Category Archives: Heat- Thermal Energy

Monday, 1/27/2020- B Day

Learning Goal:

Students will be able to create a model that explains what happens to particle motion, temperature, and states of matter when heat energy is added or removed.

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Set up NEW Table of Contents.
  2. Begin Sound Waves Unit Cover Page– ISN p.53
  3. State of Matter Changes HyperDoc on Google Classroom- Yellow EXPLORE section-
      • Check out what happens to neon, argon, oxygen, & water when you change the temperature. You can change the temperature by sliding the switch up or down. (You can also change the thermometer from K to C using the dropdown menu.)
      • What effect does heat energy have on the movement of the particles of matter?
      • Do you notice the matter changing state?
      • What happened for the matter to go from one state to another?
      • Can you pick out each state of matter?
      • Did the change happen gradually or all at once?
    • Print out the handout, complete the data tables, and answer the questions.
    • Before moving onto Explain, bring your lab handouts to Mrs, Vigliotti to show her what you have explored about heat energy and pressure and the effect they have on changes of state.

Friday, 1/24/19- B Day

Learning Goal:

Students will be able to create a model that explains what happens to particle motion, temperature, and states of matter when heat energy is added or removed.

Learning Tasks:

State of Matter Changes HyperDoc on Google Classroom- Green ENGAGE section

  1. Watch the video of a different change of state phenomenon (evaporation, condensation, freezing, melting, sublimation, and deposition) by following the links on the HyperDoc.
  2. Record your observations of each phenomenon by sketching or writing in the blank space on the handout.
  3. Use the infographic to determine what state the matter was in and what state the matter turned into and record that in the appropriate spot on the handout.
  4. Think of another example of that change of state phenomenon and record that on the handout as well.

*You can continue to work through each section on your own and at your own rate: EXPLORE (yellow), EXPLAIN (pink), ELABORATE/EXTEND (blue), and EVALUATE (purple). You will show Mrs. Vigliotti your work at the end of each section.

Thursday, 1/23/19- A Day- Block Schedule Periods 2, 4, 6, & 8

Driving Question:

How can containers keep stuff from warming up?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN and copy down today’s Home Learning in your planner. Also, please get out your directions and template for the Final Summative Assessment on the Thermal Energy Transfer Unit- a Scientific Explanation & Model.
  2. Scientific Explanation– Now that you have gotten feedback from a partner and had time to re-think and re-write, you are ready to draw your final model and construct your final explanation. It is due at the end of the block period.
  3. State of Matter Changes Hyperdoc– Green Engage section

Home Learning:

  • Thermal Energy Transfer Scientific Explanation due end of class today 1/23
  • State of Matter Changes Hyperdoc- Green Engage section handout due on FRIDAY, 1/24 at the end of class

Tuesday, 1/21/2020- B Day

Driving Question:

How can containers keep stuff from warming up?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN and copy down today’s Home Learning in your planner. Also, please get out your directions and template for the Final Summative Assessment on the Thermal Energy Transfer Unit- a Scientific Explanation & Model.
  2. Scientific Explanation– Continue working on the evidence using sticky notes. Connect “parts of the story” back to investigations and other learning tasks by placing a sticky note with a short phrase about how the task supports the explanation next to that part of your model. Take time to re-think and re-write. Share your ideas with a partner. Use the Peer Feedback Sentence Frames to get feedback about the clarity of your explanation and your scientific ideas. Add, delete, or change ideas as needed.
