The unit on the structure of the atom is introduced through a LINK activity. Students listed what they know and wrote inquiry questions about the atom. Then, a phet simulation was explored. Please complete this activity if you were absent using this handout.

Energy transfer S.G.

Energy transfer Study guide: Study the following concepts using your INB, bellwork, and check the blog anouncements. What causes particles to move? ( Diffusion demo) Describe the particles arrangement and motion in each of the states of matter.  What is temperature? How does a thermometer work?  How is energy transferred between objects in contact? Which…

NGSS strategies: developing models and constructing explanations. Focus questions: How does a thermometer work? What is temperature? and how is it different from heat? This week, students explored how particles motion in a liquid is affected by temperature change. Please refer to their interactive notebook p. 18-20 next week, we will begin learning about energy…
