Prep

Review 

• Lesson Plan

• Slides

• Assessment or answer keys (if required)

Prepare 

• Prepare three claim posters using chart paper. Title the posters as follows:

  • Claim 1: Heat is entering the cup system.

  • Claim 2: Cold is leaving the cup system.

  • Does not support either claim over the other or supports both equally.

• Prepare four evidence cards on 8.5-×-11 paper using Evidence Cards 1.

• Check to make sure the simulation works on your computer. You can play the simulation from the slides or from the OpenSciEd website. Alternatively, you can download the .swf file and Elmedia player from the American Chemical Society Middle School Chemistry page and play the simulation directly from your computer. If you plan to have students explore the simulation in small groups on their own computers (the alternate activity), check to make sure the simulation works on the devices your students will use.

• Be prepared to add “kinetic energy” to the student notebook and class poster/wall.
