Lesson Plans
Chapter 1: Matter—Solids, Liquids, and Gases Students are introduced to the idea that matter is composed of atoms and molecules that are attracted to each other and in constant motion. Students explore the attractions and motion of atoms and molecules as they experiment with and observe the heating and cooling of a solid, liquid, and gas. Chapter 2: Changes of State Students help design experiments to test whether the temperature of water affects the rate of evaporation and whether the temperature of water vapor affects the rate of condensation. Chapter 3: Density Students experiment with objects that have the same volume but different mass and other objects that have the same mass but different volume to develop a meaning of density. Chapter 4: The Periodic Table & Bonding Students look more deeply into the structure of the atom and play a game to better understand the relationship between protons, neutrons, electrons, and energy levels in atoms and their location in the periodic table.

home No Opt Out | Questioning Techniques for the Classroom No opt out is an all or nothing strategy that requires the students to answer questions that are asked of them correctly. Incorrect or partially answered questions should be corrected by other students who have their hands raised, continuing until the right answer is given. If an incorrect answer is given then that student will continue to be asked questions until a correct answer is given. Student Who Refuses to Try – If a student replies I don’t know or I don’t want to answer, turn to another student and ask them the same question, once you achieve the correct answer from another student, turn back to the first student who could not answer the question and ask them if they can answer now. Important Point – To ensure students confidence, make sure that you as a teacher approach this strategy in a cheerful and positive manner, also having this attitude makes them know that you believe that they can do it.

Solid State of Matter These crystals of the mineral pyrite are a good example of a solid. Click on image for full size Courtesy of Corel Solid is one of the four common states of matter. The three others are gas, liquid, and plasma. There are also some other exotic states of matter that have been discovered in recent years. Unlike liquids and gases, solids have definite shapes. The atoms or molecules in a solid are packed together much more tightly in a solid than in a gas or a liquid. Solids are usually much more dense than liquids and gases, but not always. Many solid materials will melt when heated. Crystals, wood, rocks, most metals, and glass are all examples of common solids. Shop Windows to the Universe Science Store!

Validity vs Reliability vs Accuracy in Physics Experiments Introduction to Validity, Reliability, and Accuracy of Experiments Practical assessments are designed to test your practical skills: how well you can design and carry out an experiment and analyse results, but also your understanding of the purpose of the experiment and its limitations. One aspect of this is the reliability, validity, and accuracy of the experiment. In this article we discuss: What is an experiment? An experiment is a set of measurements that are analysed to test a link or relationship between different things. When writing the method of an experiment, you must ensure that each step of the method incorporates reliability, accuracy or validity. Validity What is validity? Validity relates to the experimental method and how appropriate it is in addressing the aim of the experiment: “Is my experiment suitable?” Several aspects of the experiment can contribute to validity: the equipment, the experimental method, and the analysis of the results. How do you improve validity? Accuracy

A Matter of State A plastic bottle is compressed following a flight Photo Credit: Korte Purpose To help students understand that particle movement changes as a substance changes from one phase to another phase. Context This lesson is designed to give students the opportunity to observe a phenomenon created by particle movement. Prior to this lesson, students should have been introduced to the notion that matter may go through different phase changes. This particular benchmark may be difficult for students to grasp because middle-school and high-school students are deeply committed to a theory of continuous matter. Additionally, many students do not understand that all substances undergo some type of movement. Emphasis needs to be placed on helping students understand that there are different motions exhibited by substances in their respective phases. Motivation Ask students to write descriptions of the three common states of matter. Development Break the class into lab groups of four to five students.
