Essential Question: How does temperature effect the observable properties of matter? |
|
| Enduring Understandings | Resources |
| Heating or
cooling matter causes it to change its state. States of Matter Students will describe the effect that changes in temperature have on the properties of materials by heating and cooling various materials.

choose whether the impage depicts a solid, liquid or gas. Real
World Reading: History of Maple Syrup Students will read to answer
the question: How does heating change maple tree sap?Mighty
Metals This book from ConnectEd describes many ways metal is
softened to make jewelry and hardened for building bridges.Science Clips-Solids and Liquids Use this interactive site to explore how heating and cooling change the state of matter of solids and liquids.  Energy
Forms and Changes Students will build their own energy system and
explore how heat, cooling and energy relate to one another in making
machines operate. Thermal
Energy Students will explore how heat changes an object's state of
matter. Pirate

in Art (PowerPoint) - Arts Integration Lesson: Students will look at
paintings by Joan Miro and ask themselves what state of matter is
represented. Teacher will encourage students to explain by asking "What
makes you say that?"Matter
Changes in Dance (PowerPoint) - Arts Integration Lesson: Students
will discuss the dance moves that will associated with each state of
matter and will transition into each stage. Teacher and students will
discuss what makes these states of matter change.

Cube Melt Journal (Pixie) Students will record their
observations of the ice cube melt activity by using written, visual or
oral explanation.Changing Matter Students will determine how particles change when heat is increased.
Heating & Cooling Molecules Students will determine how particles change when heated or cooled. Student must click "Run Now" to show simulation. Please note: If the links below do not open, login to aacps.discoveryeducation.com.  Changing
