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…

Content Objective:  Students will demonstrate understanding of heating curves by describing the total energy changes of the system using this vidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y6Zm-Ko4KUeo Language Objective: Students will label and explain the changes that happen to a system when heat is added or removed using these new terms: Kinetic energy, Potential energy, constant, condensed, solidified, heat released, heat…

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…
