What's The Matter...Do Things Keep Changing? [10th-12th Grade], Dustin Demoin

Understanding by Design: Complete Collection

This unit attempts to provide students with a deeper understanding of the properties of matter and physical and chemical properties/changes. This unit could be used at the middle school or IPC level with the omission of the discussion of the kinetic molecular theory. You will also need access to a CRC manual for the project. You could just work with photocopies of the book for the triple points and critical points.

The kinetic energy (energy of motion) of the particles that make up a substance determines the state of the material. During phase changes, energy increases, but the temperature does not increase, until all of the material has changed phase. Energy and stresses cause changes in physical properties of all materials--solids, liquids, and gases.
