Week 12 : Nov 27 - Dec. 1
Goals:
1. Know the boiling and melting/freezing temperatures of water in Celcius.
2. Know that temperature is an indicator of the speed (kinetic energy) of the particles in a substance.
3. Be able to describe relative particle behavior and spacing during solid, liquid and gas phases.
4. Be able to label sections of a heating curve and describe what the added energy is doing during each section.
Activities:
Monday: Go over previous quiz. Calibrate blank thermometers.
Block day: Collect data during freezing and melting of water. Guided lecture and worksheets. Finish as homework.
Thursday: Worksheet: It's just a passing phase. Finish as homework.
Friday: Field Trip to PSU
There are no electronic copies of these worksheets available. Sorry.
Anticipated notebook contents:
1. Thermometer scale. (Just periods 3 and 4)
2. Sketch of graph of freezing data
3. Worksheet: Phases
4. Worksheet: It's just a passing phase. ¶ 9:35 PM

Week 9 and 10 Nov. 6 - 8 (short week)and Nov. 13 - 17
Goals:
1. Know the density of water: 1g/ml.
2. Know what mass, volume and density are and how to measure them.
3. Know that the density of a pure substance is constant (at a given temperature and pressure).
4. Know that the solid phase is almost always more dense than the liquid phase, but that water is an exception.
5. Know that fresh water is a precious and effectively limited resource.
Activities:
Monday: Discussion about goals, dreams and GPA. If time, notes on water, mass and volume.
Block: Determine the density of water. Link to handout Write conclusion as homework.
Monday: Determine the density of ice.
Block day: Surface Tension and water polarity activities. Review sheet . (This copy is missing some important pictures that are hand drawn on the in-class version.) Link to homework handout.
Thursday:Word sort about vocabulary. Start Density Challenge
Friday: Finish density Challenge. Quiz
This weeks notebook should have.
1. Density of a pure substance part 1.
2. Graph
3. Density of ice worksheet
4. Density review sheet ¶ 9:01 PM
