Matter Model Project
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter.
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter THE CHALLENGE: 1. Choose a state of matter to model: solid, liquid or gas. 2. Choose a type of substance: element, compound or mixture. 3. Create a model that shows the molecules of your substance. 4. Create and deliver a presentation.
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter THIS IS A GROUP PROJECT! With your assigned group you will: 1. Determine roles or jobs for each group member 2. Create a set of rules for your group members to follow 3. Collaborate to complete the project
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter GROUP ROLES: Talk and think about the unique talents of your group members. Is one of you very artistic? You may have found a creative director. Maybe one of you is a good communicator? They could be your negotiator in case team members disagree. Or perhaps someone has really great skills with computers. You may have found your research leader. You decide what your team needs and clearly define your roles.
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter GROUP RULES: What do you expect from each group member? What will happen if someone is not contributing? Envision your success. Now visualize possible failure of the project. What does your group need in order for your project (and presentation) to be successful?
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter THE MODEL: Your model should be: Colorful well made (not sloppy) An accurate depiction of your substance
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter YOUR PRESENTATION: Given in person or by video Given on the deadline YOUR GROUP WILL DECIDE THE FORMAT OF YOUR PRESENTATION Some possible formats: video, PowerPoint, poster board, play, song
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter YOUR PRESENTATION SHOULD INCLUDE THE INFORMATION: What is your state of matter? How does your model demonstrate your state? What type of substance did you choose? How does your model demonstrate this? What are 3 real examples of your substance?
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter ALSO INCLUDE IN YOUR PRESENTATION: Describe the movement of the molecules Describe what happens to the volume of your substance when the container changes. Describe what happens to the shape of your substance when its container changes.
Objective: Create a model of a substance that shows the molecules of a state of matter TIMELINE: Presentations will begin Monday, February 10 th. Models will also be due at that time. You will have class time all week AND the weekend to complete your project. Tick tock. Don‘t let your project be late!
