STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
States of Matter – Gases
BIG IDEAS: (Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill focus)

Changes in matter are accompanied by changes in energy.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
How are changes in matter accompanied by changes in energy?

UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS): Students will understand:
Use of gas laws to predict pressures, volumes, temperatures, and amounts of gas.
Lewis dot diagrams are useful for studying the structure and bonding nature atoms.
The polarity of a molecule can be determined by the distribution of electrons around the molecule.
