11/11 Model Energy Transitions Between Phases of Matter We use models everyday to show how things work or how things interact with one another to complete a process. Though models can create misconceptions, they help to make abstract concepts more concrete, or understandable. If you were to draw a model showing “Energy Cycle” for matter, what would your picture look like? Draw you model below, showing how the change in energy is achieved between the 4 states of matter. Think about how you would draw “energy” and how will you demonstrate what is needed to make the transition. Use pictures, words, and/or symbols in your model.

11/13 Temperature of Matter Cloey and Austin are comparing the temperature readings of 4 different objects: - a block of wood - a wool hat - a metal tray - a glass plate They place the objects on a table in their science classroom and leave them overnight. A thermometer is attached to each object. The next day they record the temperature of each object at the same time. Cloey’s and Austin’s Predictions: None of the objects will have the same temperature. Two of the objects will have the same temperature. Three of the objects will have the same temperature All of the objects will have the same temperature. Choose the prediction you believe will be true about the temperature of the objects and write it in your science notebook as your claim. Then write an additional sentence or two to explain your thinking.

11/18 Heat vs. Temperature 1. Heat and temperature are not the same thing. How are they different? 2. After the soccer game, Cora filled a glass with ice and added some water. When her mom asked her why she needed to use up all of the ice, she replied, “I like my water really cold, and the more ice I put in, the colder the water gets.” Is Cora’s thinking accurate?

11/20 Chemistry Riddle Mary was working in a chemistry lab with a mixture of chemicals that was 90% water and weighed 20 pounds. After returning to the lab from a weekend break, she calculated the mixture was now 50% water. How much does the mixture now weigh? For purposes of this puzzle, assume the non-water part of the mixture was not affected by evaporation.

11/22 Chemistry Riddle How many children are there? Brain "Freezer“: A group of students went to Mullen’s Dairy to buy ice cream cones.
