Description
PhET Simulations are a classic staple in middle school science classrooms, and this guided virtual lab packet will help your students get the most out of this powerful yet easy-to-use States of Matter simulation!
✔️ What's Included:
This virtual lab packet can be printed or completed digitally. There are a total of 5 pages, separated into two parts:
☄️ Part 1 - States of Matter Basics:
- Students access the sim and record observations about H2O and neon in solid, liquid, and gaseous phases, including a particle diagram, temperature ranges, and observations about particle motion.
- A graphic organizer with mini-beakers is provided for students to create their own particle diagrams.
- Students then respond to a prompt asking them to consider the differences between atoms and molecules, using examples from the simulation.
- Students compare and contrast the behavior of H2O and neon (attention on the solid phase).
☄️ Part 2 - Phase Changes (Temperature & Pressure):
- Students choose a substance and record observations about what happens to the particles in that substance when heat is added, when pressure is added, and when more particles are added.
- Students record the effect on several variables in easy-to-use graphic organizers.
- Periodic table tiles for all elements referenced (O, Ar, Ne) are included, helping students make connections.
- Five analysis questions are provided for students to choose from.
❤ Updated to include 5 easy-to-read infographic posters / student notes about states of matter - perfect as inserts for student notebooks or laminate for classroom use.
✔️ Scientific Modeling Made Easy!
Simplify your planning and guide your students to make sense of challenging concepts with our user-friendly PhET States of Matter virtual lab.
It's designed to take the complexity out of scientific modeling and help your students navigate the world of matter with ease.
