L1: How does condensation appear on a cold can of soda?
I CAN describe the appearance of droplets on the outside of a cold metal can
I CAN construct a model that explains the appearance of the droplets
I CAN test my explanation for the droplets
I CAN defend my explanation for the droplets with evidence
L2: What role does energy play in condensation?
I CAN predict the transfer of energy between objects of different temperature
I CAN relate the transfer of energy to the condensation of water vapor
L3: How can we compare the energy transferred between systems?
I CAN use a change in temperature to quantify the energy transferred from one system to another
I CAN calculate the energy transferred to or from water in a calorimeter
L4: What determines the temperature change when thermal energy is transferred?
I CAN compare the temperature change in two different systems during an energy transfer
I CAN describe specific heat capacity of a substance
I CAN use temperature change to rank different substances on their ability to change temperature when energy is transferred.
L5: Is energy transfer always related to temperature?
I CAN make a time temperature graph for water being heated from ice to vapor
I CAN recognize the parts of the graph where the temperature is changing
I CAN recognize the parts of the graph where the temperature is not changing
I CAN give an evidence based explanation for the parts of the heating curve where the temperature is not changing and relate that to energy transfer.
L6: Summary of The Model So Far
I CAN explain the energy transfer between water vapor in the air and the cold metal can in terms of particle collisions.
I CAN relate the energy transfer between the water vapor and the can to the formation of water droplets on the can
I CAN refine my model of matter to incorporate the information learned in this unit.
