    • A solid holds its shape and does not take the shape of its container
    • A gas has no visible shape and fills its container 
    • A liquid flows and can take the shape of its container

    1.   Page 9 Air Pressure and Boyle's Law Make sure you answer questions 1 and 2
    2.   Page 10 Homework: Find 5 things at your house that can go through a phase change.
    Example:  If you take a hot shower, steam rises (liquid to a gas)
                    If you have a pool, the water evaporates and you have to add water to it (liquid to a gas)
                    If you burn a candle the wax melts (solid to a liquid)
    Find 5 examples of your own, not the ones I have listed.

    Tuesday September 3
    1.  Lab Phase change in a cup 
    Answer the questions: 
       What did you observe happening in the cups?
       Did a phase change or phase changes occur?  Is so which one or ones?
     This is your prediction of what molecules look like (before we do the simulation)
     
    Wednesday September 4
    1.  Exploring the phase change simulator Click here for the simulator
    2.  Page 15 answer the 2 questions:
    • What can you do or change in the simulation?
    • What do you think you can learn from the simulation? 
    Thursday September 5
    1.  Page 16 Draw this table, read the directions, fill in the table (page 15 in Amplify workbook) Draw what the molecules look like in the simulation.
     
    2.  Page 17 (Page 17 in workbook) What would you add or change to your model after using the simulator (Look back at page 14 that was your prediction.  After you did the simulation and you know what the molecules look like now, what would you change on page 14?)
    3.  Page 18 (Page 18 in workbook) Write the unit question and 4 vocabulary words Click here
    4.  Page 19 (Page 19 in workbook) Warm up- Read the paragraph and answer the question: Do you think the puddle was formed from rain? Why or why not?  Click here
