Phases of Matter Project Due _______________ Objective : o In this unit you have been introduced to the idea that matter is composed of atoms and molecules that are attracted to each other and in constant motion. You have explored the attractions and motion of atoms and molecules through experiments and observed the heating and cooling of a solid, liquid, and gas. o Your goal is to create a product of all the information you have learned about the three main phases of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) on the “molecular level”. o You can choose between four products for your project: Brochure/Pamphlet Cartoon/Comic Strip Children’s Book Trading Cards. o Your task is to draw circles to represent the molecules in a solid, liquid, and gas at three different temperatures (hot, room, and cold) for a grand total of 9 diagrams. You must be sure that the molecules : o Show the proper arrangement of the molecules. o Show motion lines to represent their movement relative to each other (moving faster or slower). o Show the difference in distance between the molecules when their temperatures are hot, room and cold. o Include captions like “atoms faster and further apart” or “atoms slower and closer together” to “more attraction between molecules” or “less attraction between molecules” to describe your drawings. In addition, your product must meet it’s particular criteria: o Brochure/Pamphlet: at least 8.5” by 11”, must be in threefold format, front fold has the title and picture, all pictures must have written text, and can be created on a computer. o Cartoon/Comic Strip: at least 8.5” by 11”, at least nine cells, must have meaningful written text, and must include color. o Children’s Book: must have a cover with book’s title and student’s name as author, must have at least 10 pages, each page should have an illustration to accompany the story, should be neatly written or typed, and can be created on the computer. o Trading Cards: include at least 10 cards, each card should be at least 3” by 5”, each should have a colored picture, includes at least 2 facts on each card, all cards should have a picture on one side and information on the other, and all cards must be submitted in carrying bag.

Phases of Matter Project Due  _______________  

 • Objective:

o In  this  unit  you  have  been  introduced  to  the  idea  that  matter  is  composed  of  atoms  and  molecules  that  are  attracted  to  each  other  and  in  constant  motion.    You  have  explored  the  attractions  and  motion  of  atoms  and  molecules  through  experiments  and  observed  the  heating  and  cooling  of  a  solid,  liquid,  and  gas.  

o Your  goal  is  to  create  a  product  of  all  the  information  you  have  learned  about  the  three  main  phases  of  matter  (solid,  liquid,  and  gas)  on  the  “molecular  level”.  

o You  can  choose  between  four  products  for  your  project:  § Brochure/Pamphlet  § Cartoon/Comic  Strip  § Children’s  Book  § Trading  Cards.  

o Your  task  is  to  draw  circles  to  represent  the  molecules  in  a  solid,  liquid,  and  gas  at  three  different  temperatures  (hot,  room,  and  cold)  for  a  grand  total  of  9  diagrams.    

• You must be sure that the molecules:

o Show  the  proper  arrangement  of  the  molecules.  o Show  motion  lines  to  represent  their  movement  relative  to  each  other  

(moving  faster  or  slower).  o Show  the  difference  in  distance  between  the  molecules  when  their  

temperatures  are  hot,  room  and  cold.  o Include  captions  like  “atoms  faster  and  further  apart”  or  “atoms  slower  and  

closer  together”  to    “more  attraction  between  molecules”  or  “less  attraction  between  molecules”  to  describe  your  drawings.  

• In addition, your product must meet it’s particular criteria:

o Brochure/Pamphlet:  at  least  8.5”  by  11”,  must  be  in  three-­‐fold  format,  front  fold  has  the  title  and  picture,  all  pictures  must  have  written  text,  and  can  be  created  on  a  computer.  

o Cartoon/Comic  Strip:  at  least  8.5”  by  11”,  at  least  nine  cells,  must  have  meaningful  written  text,  and  must  include  color.  

o Children’s  Book:  must  have  a  cover  with  book’s  title  and  student’s  name  as  author,  must  have  at  least  10  pages,  each  page  should  have  an  illustration  to  accompany  the  story,  should  be  neatly  written  or  typed,  and  can  be  created  on  the  computer.  

o Trading  Cards:  include  at  least  10  cards,  each  card  should  be  at  least    3”  by  5”,  each  should  have  a  colored  picture,  includes  at  least  2  facts  on  each  card,  all  cards  should  have  a  picture  on  one  side  and  information  on  the  other,  and  all  cards  must  be  submitted  in  carrying  bag.
