still boiling...

1. About yesterday's experiment: The Heating Curve of Water --

We will work some more on this Monday in class.  

2.  Thermometers and temperature scales:

3. Eureka Science Videos 18-20: Note-taking means writing down "The Story So Far.." in your science journals.

 m

4. Textbook Reading: Read chapter 16.1 Kinetic Theory, reviewing what you have already read and completing the rest of the section. AS YOU READ:

• Answer the "Reading Check" which comes at the end of each  sub-section.  You have enough room in your textbooks to write in them directly. (but you can also write in your journals if you are sharing; just include the question.)  
• Also in your textbooks, highlight or underline all the vocabulary  from the list at the beginning of the section.  
• Pay particular attention to page 492 Heating Curve of Water and copy the graph (figure 7),  in your journals;  also in your journal Explain particle behavior at the melting and boiling points. Write in Paragraph form, and explain carefully enough that your younger sibling would understand. 

...it should look like this (from last week's homework): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B07s3-bcUr7tNVdIMlBYWXRWa0E/edit?usp=sharing

kinetic theory - heating curve of water

PLEASE NOTICE THIS IS HOMEWORK FOR 2 DAYS - DO SOME ON TUESDAY AND SOME ON WEDNESDAY! (but do it in order, please.)

1. Take some time to recall the demonstration at the end of class --putting the helium balloon over the stove and then into the freezer.  Describe what happened to the balloon, and then try to explain why it happened; what were the particles doing?  Use the Kinetic Molecular Theory to explain.  [particles...motion...colliding]  WRITE THIS IN YOUR SCIENCE JOURNAL. Try to explain it so that your brother/sister  who has never studied this could understand.

 

2.  Watch these videos, and take note/draw the pictures.

3.   BrainPop : http://www.brainpop.com/science/matterandchemistry/matterchangingstates/

(username: pcshome   password: ilearnathome)  watch the movie, print out the  activity sheets,  then re-watch the movie in order to  complete the pages.   [What I mean is, print out pages called  "activity"  "graphic organizer" and the "vocabulary" and fill them in with info from the movie.] Take the quiz, read the FYI (don't forget to select each circle at the top of that page.)  call me if this makes no sense  858-4191/cell or 892-8540/home.

4.  Reading in textbook: pages 488-491 - you may write/underline/highlight in your books! I recommend it!  They belong to you.  It helps you remember.

5.   pHet simulations: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/states-of-matter-basics  This requires you to have Java on your computer. Download or Run Now, whatever works.  Get help to get this working,  because we will use this site often.  P
lay around with the simulation for a while, to get the hang of it.

And that's it!  See ya Thursday. 😎👌🙋  [I try to make homework that takes about 2 hours to complete, one hour for Tuesday and one hour for Wednesday.  Not everyone is the same, however, so some of you may do this more or less quickly.  Don't let yourself get distracted by stuff on the internet, and make sure you have the "Safety On" when you do YouTube. I wish there was a "homework mode" for students, no FB etc, because that would be brilliant. Tell me if you hear of one.]

This homework is very "light"

Shorty Homework:

watch this video, and in you science journals, write 10 things you didn't already know about helium.

This next video is also about helium - try to find 5 more new things to write down about helium.

AND THAT's ALL!!
