Matter and Its Interactions
Matter and Its Interactions
How do particles combine to form the variety of matter we observe?
Critical Thinking: Analyzing the composition of matter and the impact of thermal energy on it.
Communication: Effectively sharing findings from experiments and models describing atomic composition.
Collaboration: Working together to develop models and explain concepts.
Adaptive Perseverance: Applying feedback to improve models and explanations.
How does the atomic composition of molecules differ in various substances?
What role does thermal energy play in changing the state of matter?
How can we model the atomic and molecular structures of simple compounds?
Create Models: Learn how to create simple models that show how atoms are put together in molecules.
Critical Thinking: Analyze models to understand atomic and molecular composition.
Communication: Clearly explain atom combinations and particle motion changes.
Describing Particle Motion: Use models to show how particles move faster or slower when you add or take away heat.
MS PS 1-1: Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
MS PS 1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
