Overview
NGSS Standards:
DCI:
Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic
scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with
the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the
relative positions of particles (objects). (HS-PS-2)

Use the comment tool to indicate and explain as needed where the big idea (DCI and CCC),
scientific practices, and each stage of your identified activity sequence are located in your
lesson plans. Share your plans with your mentor and instructor for feedback prior to teaching.
After the discussion I will ask my students how they think their sense
of smell will work if I introduce an odor into the room. We will take
a vote for everyone smelling the odor at the same time, vs. people
beginning to smell the odor at different times. I will instruct the
students to raise their hands as they begin to smell the odor. Once
weve done the experiment I will ask the students to think about
what this implies about the particles of the odor. I will ask my
students to construct a model of three times: when the odor was
introduced, during the lag period, and when they could smell the
substance. The students will do their analysis on whiteboards in new
groups. I will call on a few groups with different looking particle
models to explain what we thought.

Main Teaching Activities ( 30 minutes)
Whiteboards
Whiteboard I will begin by heating up a beaker of water to boiling. I will ask for
markers student volunteers to time each process. I will tell them when to stop
so that we can be sure a consistent standard for when to stop the time
being used. I will ask the students to stop their watches when the
drop of color is completely spread out (water is an even color). Once
we determine that the hot water makes the color spread faster, I will
again break the students into groups and then ask them to make
boards explaining exactly what happened they will have four
drawings one for when the drop was introduced and one for when it
was spread out for both hot and cold. We will then have a similar
discussion to the day before, with some different group presenting
what they thing happened to make the hot water spread the particles
faster.
I will introduce the demo by asking the students to think about how
heat effects the density and volume of a substance. They will be
Materials asked to recall the density of a solid and density of a gas labs from
Worksheet the previous unit. I will tell them that we will be doing an experiment
Hot plate in order to see how volume of a liquid changes with temperature.
Thermometer Students will be asked to predict whether the volume will increase or
decrease as I apply heat to a liquid.
Two test
tubes
Main Teaching Activities (30 minutes)
Water
Ethanol I will set up a hot water bath using my hot plate and beaker, two
Beaker tubes of dyed fluid, ethanol and water will be clamped so that they
Food extend into the water. I will draw a line in sharpie on the tubes to
coloring indicate the initial position of the meniscus. I will have the students
gather around me, and I will ask them for any observations that they
see. The students should notice that the alcohol has expanded.
Because the activity should be over before the end of the period, I
will pass out worksheet 1 (see below) and give the students some
time to work on it in lab groups. This will take some of next period
as well.
Worksheet 1:
Unit 2 Worksheet 1
1. You decide to boil water to cook noodles. You place the pan of water on the
stove and turn on the burner.
a. How does the behavior of the water molecules change as the pan of water is
heated?
b. What about your answer to (a) would change if there were more water in the
pan?
5. Describe how Anders Celsius devised the temperature scale that bears his
name.
6. Which would feel warmer to the touch - a bucket of water at 50C or a bathtub
filled with water at 25C? Which of these contains more energy? Account for any
differences in your answers to these questions.
