Monday:
· How is temperature related to kinetic energy?
o Explain and discuss the kinetic theory of matter.
o Compare the speeds of particles in solids, liquids, and gases.
· Review Kinetic theory of matter
o Think fast Questions
§ Which of the following has particles with a higher average kinetic energy?
· Present examples: Steam or ice water, etc..
§ Which of the following has particles with a lower average kinetic energy?
· Present examples: Snow or water, etc..
 |
Tuesday:
· Define temperature, degree, and thermometer.
o Students must create a word triangle for each of the vocabulary terms in their Science Journal.
· Relate temperature to kinetic energy of particles.
o High Temp. = higher kinetic energy
o Low Temp. = lower kinetic energy
§ Due to particle movement
· Measure temperature using different scales.
o Fahrenheit
o Celsius
o Kelvin
·

Wednesday:
· Thermal Energy & Heat
· What is the relationship between heat and temperature?
o Define: Thermal Energy & Heat
§ Discuss and differentiate between thermal energy, temperature, & heat.
· Small groups activity: Heat Race:
§ Give each group a zipped plastic bag with an ice cube inside. Instruct groups to agree on a way to melt the ice cube without opening the bag. They can use anything in the room to help: sunlight, warm air, body heat, etc…
§ After all groups have finished, discuss how long each method took.

Friday:
· Thermal Energy in a Bottle Demonstration
o Demonstration will show students thermal energy in action.
o Define: conduction, conductor, insulator, and radiation
§ Students must create a word triangle for each of the vocabulary terms in their Science Journal.
