7TH GRADE SCIENCE
Monday-
Topic: Phase Change lesson 8
Objective: Why does an energy transfer not always result in phase change?
To do List:
Reflect: Students examine evidence and reflect on why it is likely that the lake on Titan evaporated.
Read: Students read an article about the role of molecular attraction in phase change.
Talk: Students share their questions and ideas about the article they read in the “Liquid Oxygen” article.

Tuesday-
Topic: Phase Change lesson 9
Objective: Why does an energy transfer not always result in phase change?
To do List:
Do: Students observe the evaporation of drops of two substances (liquid water and liquid isopropanol) to consider how phase change is connected to attraction.
Read: Students return to the "Liquid Oxygen" article to help answer the question: Why does an energy transfer not always result in phase change?
Homework:
Upcoming events:
Wednesday-
Topic: Phase Change lesson 10
Objective: How does molecular attraction affect whether or not a phase change will occur?
To do List:
Do: Students use the Phase Change Sim to make predictions about energy and phase change based on the molecular attraction of different substances.
Reflect: Students evaluate evidence to prepare for making an explanation about what happened to the lake on Titan.
Write: Students explain to Dr. Flores why the methane did not change phase before 2007.
Homework:

Thursday-
Topic: Phase Change lesson 11
Objective: Why is the liquid oxygen machine producing less liquid oxygen than normal?
To do List:
Introducing the Science Seminar: Students are introduced to the context for the Science Seminar sequence, which asks students to determine what is causing the liquid oxygen machine that creates fuel for a rocket to malfunction.
Write: Students look closely at the Liquid Oxygen Machine Diagram and record their initial ideas.
Talk: Students annotate the Liquid Oxygen Machine Diagram and then discuss their annotations with a partner.
