In Class Sequence

Additional Resources
Lesson 1 (Engage)
  • States of Matter Activity 
  • Play with the interactive until understanding of the material is achieved. Answer all questions on a google doc, and submit. (10 pts. Classwork)
Lesson 2 (Explore) Lesson 3 (Explain)
  • Intermolecular Forces Activity
  • Play with the interactive until understanding of the concepts are achieved, and answer all questions on a document. (10 pts. Classwork)
Lesson 4 (Extend)
  • “What causes water to behave differently when in solid, liquid, and gas states?”
  • Plan an experiment wherein water is taken through the three stages of matter in order to answer this question.  
  • Form a hypothesis which will answer the question in an if/then or prediction format.
  • Explain in detail what is predicted to occur and why (this should go into detail at the chemical level, the vocabulary commensurate with the expectations of the course level and the learning which took place prior to this assignment).
  • What will be your procedure? Explain each step in detail such that another person could carry out the procedure without potentially changing the result.
  • What materials will be used? List all materials and quantities.
  • What safety measures will be taken to ensure the safety of people and property? Include safety measures taken during the course of the procedure so they are followed at their appropriate times.
  • Describe the quantitative and qualitative  data that will be collected and the evidence to be derived from the data, which must include describing or submitting photo evidence of the changes in physical properties of the material during the course of the procedure 
  • Submit this plan as a Google Doc (10 pt. Laboratory grade)
Lesson 5 (Evaluate)
  • Carry out the experiment 
  • Record the actual procedure (sometimes adjustments have to be made from the plan) 
  • Collect all planned data
  • Analyze the qualitative and quantitative data and determine what it proves and disproves
  • Explain what the results mean and how and why they happened, with source citations for how you know
  • Return to the hypothesis and predictions, and explain them in light of these results (e.g. to what extent they were proven or disproven)
  • Separate this information out into Methods, Results, and Conclusion sections and submit them as a Google Doc (16 pt. Assessment grade based on Lab Report Rubric)
