Description
NGSS Model Building for stacking hot water on cold water demonstration, comparing the spreading of food dye in hot and cold water and the behavior of hot and cold water on wax paper. Use in science units related to Gas Laws, Kinetic Molecular Theory, Gas Pressure, States of Matter or Atmosphere. Google doc provides scaffolding to draw a model of what is happening at the molecular level in each demonstration. Students also write out an explanation for why this demonstration provides evidence in support of the patterns listed on the first page about the change in molecules from solids to liquids to gases.
The first page of the editable google document takes kids through brainstorming patterns such as molecules move faster, spread apart, become less dense and have weaker intermolecular forces as they transition from solids to liquids to gases. Students then hypothesize if they will see a difference in these characteristics if they compare hot an cold water. Each of the following pages is a demonstration meant to provide evidence for one of those patterns.
Includes teacher instructions and student work samples.
