Once students complete this station, they will understand that there are 2 more and how they compare to the others. Before this station, students have only been taught about the main three. The research station will allow students to conduct research about the phases of matter. Make a T-chart with the 3 states of matter and list how the molecules move in each state. For example: How are molecules related to the states of matter? Compare and contrast evaporation and condensation. WATCH IT!Īt this station, students will be watching a short video explaining the states of matter and how they transform from one state to another. Students will then answer questions related to the video and record their answers on their lab station sheet. Students will relate the movement of atoms within the molecules of water to each state of matter. Students will need to wear goggles for this station as they will be conducting a lab to explore solids, liquids, and gases and even vaporization and sublimation. Students will be working in pairs to better understand the state of matter. You can read more about how I set up the station labs here. Each of the stations is differentiated to challenge students using a different learning style. Four of the stations are considered input stations where students are learning new information about solids, liquids, and gases and four of the stations are output stations where students will be demonstrating their mastery of the input stations. This student-centered station lab is set up so students can begin to explore solids, liquids, and gases. Some major misconceptions students have are when water boils and bubbles, the bubbles are air (oxygen or hydrogen), steam is hot air, when steam is no longer visible it becomes air.Įstimated Class Time for the Engagement: 20-30 minutes The teacher will help to clear any misconceptions about solids, liquids, and gases. What would happen to the water in the bottle if more heat was removed?.What causes this change in the gas in the bottle/balloon?.What happens to the air (gas) in the bottle when you place the bottle into cold ice water/hot water?.What would happen to the balloon when you place the bottle into the hot water?.What happens to the balloon when you place it into cold water?.Questions to ask the students as they watch the demonstration: It might even get pulled into the bottle!
Watch as all of the air is taken from the balloon.Now, fill a bowl with ice water, and place the bottle in the bowl.
