Thursday, 12/5/19- B Day- Block Schedule- Periods 2, 4, 6, & 8

Focus Question:

How does the cup surface affect how light warms up liquids?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Copy down today’s Home Learning Task in your planner. Get out your ISN and open it to page 42.
  2. Light & Temperature Analysis– Answer the following questions on ISN p.42: How does the amount of transmitted light affect the water’s temperature? How does the amount of reflected light affect the water’s temperature? Where does the rest of the light go if it doesn’t transmit through or reflect off the cup walls? Does this light affect the water temperature in some way?
  3. Model Temperature Change– Develop models to explain why the water warmed up differently in cups with different walls.
  4. Driving Question Summary Table– Update the DQST on ISN p.22-23 for the Light’s Effect Lab on ISN pgs. 42-43.

Home Learning:

Opportunity for re-do is tomorrow, 12/6
Anyone with IM (initial mastery) or NM (nonmastery) must redo.
Anyone with M (mastery) has the option to redo.

Thursday, 11/21/19- B Day

Focus Question:

If matter cannot enter or leave a closed system, how does the temperature of a liquid in a closed system change?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN. Add to the Table of Contents- “Effect of Energy p. 40” (Left Side) and “Effect of Energy p.41 (Right Side). Head pages 40-41 properly with “Effect of Energy- 11/20/19.”
  2. Independent Summative Assessment– Individual & independent explanation- Different Lid Designs- You will demonstrate what you have figured out by explaining how to test the performance of two different cup lid designs and predicting the results of those investigations.
  3. Turn and Talk– Check out results from an airtight system. Study the data from the data table. How can the liquid inside the container change temperature even when no matter is leaving or entering? What are the different ways this might happen?
  4. Brainstorm Possible Causes of Temperature Change– What else could be causing the temperature of the liquid inside the closed cup system to change? Can anything else go into, out of, or through the cup walls and/or lid? Brainstorm with your partner and share with the class.
  5. Using Models to Represent Our Thinking– Set up ISN pages 40-41. With your partner, answer the following questions on ISN p.40: How does light interact with different materials, such as clear plastic and metal? How might light shining on the closed cup system cause the liquid inside to change in temperature? How might you represent your thinking using a model? Share your thinking about light and temperature change. Then with your partner, answer the following questions on ISN p.41: How does heat move? Does cold move too? How might heat (or cold) cause the liquid inside the closed cup system to change in temperature? How might you represent your thinking using a model? Share your thinking about heat or cold and temperature change. Construct models of light and heat or cold interactions with the closed cup system on ISN pages 40-41. Your models should show how you think each of these interacts with the closed cup system and how those interactions could cause the temperature of the liquid inside the closed cup system to change.

Tuesday, 11/19/19- A Day

Focus Question:

How can we explain the effect of a lid on changes in the amount of matter in a cup over time?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN & the Particle Representation handout. Add to the Table of Contents: “Particle Model p.38″ (Left Side). Head p.38 properly with “Particle Model–11/19/19.”
  2. Developing & using a diagrammatic representation of particles– Review Circles A, B, & C. Now with your partner complete parts D and E- answer the questions and draw a molecular model for E.
  3. Independent Summative Assessment– Individual Explanation- Different Lid Designs- Explaining how to test the performance of these two different designs and predicting the results of those investigations is how you can demonstrate what you have figured out.
