Learning Targets

Students will be able to:

1. List and describe characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases.

2. Conduct a lab investigation involving changes in state of matter (given direction & procedures).

3. Read and interpret a heating curve graph.

4. Explain the relationship between atoms, particles, thermal energy and state of matter by Creating/Describing a simulation of the three states of matter.

5. Define, describe, and calculate the density of a substance; D=m/v

6. Create a model to show increasing density on the molecular level.

7. Explain the relative position of substances, based on density, in water = 1.0g/ml.

8. Convert numerical quantities using metric conversion.

9. Collect accurate data during a lab investigation.
