Chemistry Unit 1 Day 2

Learning Objective: Students will learn about phases of matter by doing a simulation and will analyze and interpret data in writing using technical vocabulary (kinetic energy, intermolecular forces, solid, liquid, gas, molecules, temperature).



Questions:

1. Is the kinetic energy in a solid high or low? Explain why you think so. (book or brain)
2. Are the intermolecular forces in a solid strong or weak? Explain why you think so. (book or brain)
3. What does a high boiling point temperature indicate about a substance?

Answer Choices for number 3:

	A. The pressure over the liquid is very low. B. Little heat has been added to the system. C. Chemical bond energy is very high. D. Intermolecular forces are hard to overcome. Exit Ticket for Day 2:  Summarize the simulation from today. (2-3 sentences) Why did we do this simulation?
