STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:States of Matter
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and
skill focus)
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: How are changes in matter are
accompanied by changes in energy.
Students will understand: Kinetic molecular theory and how KMT to apply to solids,
liquids, and gases in terms of particle behavior.
2. Phase diagrams and the information that it gives.
VOCABULARY: Kinetic molecular theory, expansion, fluidity,
compressibility, diffusion, effusion, fluid, ideal gas, surface
tension, capillary action, evaporation, boiling, melting, freezing,
condensing, sublimation, deposition, crystalline, amorphous,
melting point, freezing point, boiling point, ionic crystal, covalent
molecular crystal, metallic crystal, covalent network crystal,
phase diagram.
STUDENT OBJECTIVES
(COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
state and describe terminology, properties and
characteristics of solids, liquids and gases
- explain the behavior of Gases in terms of KMT
- understand and identify the different types of
intermolecular forces
- relate the physical properties (vapor pressure, freezing
point, surface tension) to the interplay of the
intermolecular forces and energy of the molecules
- describe and give examples of the phase changes
- interpet pressure vs. temperature phase diagrams
