7th Grade

Date: September 25, 2018

Topic: Temperature

Learning Goal(s):Understand that all objects have temperature due to kinetic energy of their molecules.

Home Learning: Students will complete assignments not finished during class and study for their test on Friday.

Assignment:

• Analyze and answer the following scenario in their Interactive Journal: A cup of coffee is so hot that it cannot be drunk. As a result, an ice cube is put into the coffee. What direction is the energy moving? When would the energy flow stop?

Acids, Bases, and Salts Vocabulary

• Compound- composed of two or more elements (mixture)
• Base(Alkaline)- substance with a pH of 8-14
• pH Scale- Measures how acidic or basic a substance is
• Acid- substance with a pH of 0-6
• Neutral- Substance that does not have a positive nor negative charge
• Salts- combination of acids and bases

Students will use the following tutorial to create Cornell notes:

• “Cooking with Chef Ragu: Acids, Bases and Salts”

Temperature Vocabulary Definitions 

• Temperature- the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material
• Average Kinetic Energy- the average kinetic energy in in a material
• Molecule- a group  of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound
• State of Matter- is one of the four distinct forms that matter take on
• Liquid- is a substance with a definite volume but not a definite shape.
• Gas- is a substance that does not have a definite volume or shape.
• Solid- is a substance with a definite volume and shape. Particles are close together and do not move freely.
• Melting Point-The process in which a solid becomes a liquid
• Boling Point- the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into vapor
• Freezing Point-When temperatures of a liquid are lowered, causing a solid to form.
  
• Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy cannot be created nor destroyed only transformed

Students will watch the following and create Cornell notes:
