Description

CLICK HERE to access the Energy Forms and Changes Phet Simulation that is utilized for this activity. This activity/lab focuses on Atoms, Molecules, Elements, Chemical Formulas, Subscripts, Coefficients, and Building Models of Molecules.

This activity can be used as a digital resource or a printable resource in conjunction with the digital laboratory simulation. It is a fully customizable Google Doc if you want to adjust parts to make it more suitable for your students. It requires NO PREP! The digital version includes a Google Draw for each model, so that it is easy for students to complete models digitally.
Students will need access the internet to utilize the Phet Simulation in order to complete this guided exploration activity. This includes multiple screenshots and clear guidance of how to utilize the simulation to ensure students grasp all potential learning opportunities. This was designed for use with middle school students, but could also be utilized with upper elementary (grade 5) or high school students in Chemistry. Answer Key Included.

NGSS5-PS1-1

Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Examples of evidence could include adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water. Assessment does not include the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation or defining the unseen particles.

NGSSMS-PS1-1

Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. Emphasis is on developing models of molecules that vary in complexity. Examples of simple molecules could include ammonia and methanol. Examples of extended structures could include sodium chloride or diamonds. Examples of molecular-level models could include drawings, 3D ball and stick structures, or computer representations showing different molecules with different types of atoms. Assessment does not include valence electrons and bonding energy, discussing the ionic nature of subunits of complex structures, or a complete depiction of all individual atoms in a complex molecule or extended structure.
