Unit 1: Matter
STANDARD: S8P1 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the structure and properties of matter.
ELEMENT: S8P1.b Develop and use models to describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states when thermal energy is added or removed.
LEARNING TARGETS:
- I can identify examples of objects and/or substances that exist in solid, liquid, gas, and plasma states. (Knowledge)
- I can recognize the differences between solid, liquid, gas and plasma states. (Knowledge)
- I can recognize phase changes with the addition or removal of thermal (heat) energy. (Knowledge)
- I can describe the four states of matter. (Reasoning)
- I can, given a diagram, classify the particle arrangement that best describes a solid, liquid, gas or plasma. (Reasoning)
- I can describe the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement in solids, liquids, gases and plasma. (Reasoning)
- I can develop and use models to describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases and plasma states when thermal energy is added or removed. (Product)
Phase Changes with the Addition or Removal of Thermal (heat) Energy
Particle Arrangement: States of Matter- Solids, Liquids, Gases, and Plasmas
