TABLE OF CONTENTS - Lindbergh School District

Concept D: Physical changes in states of matter
due to thermal changes in materials can be
explained by the Kinetic Theory of Matter
Using the Kinetic Theory model, explain the
changes that occur in the distance between
atoms/molecules and temperature of a substance as
energy is absorbed or released during a phase change
Concept D: Physical changes in states of matter
due to thermal changes in materials can be
explained by the Kinetic Theory of Matter
Predict the effect of a temperature change on the
properties (e.g., pressure, density) of a material
(solids, liquids, gases)
Concept D: Physical changes in states of matter

Predict the effect of pressure changes on the
properties (e.g., temperature, density) of a material
(solids, liquids, gases)
Concept A: Forms of energy have a source, a
means of transfer (work and heat), and a receiver
Understand specific heat capacity is a physical
property and can be used to identify unknown
substances.
T
Students will discuss why the
temperature of a substance does not
change as it undergoes a phase
change.
Students will use a sealed syringe
containing a set amount of gas, and
measure and record the change in
volume of the syringe when the
syringe is placed in different water
baths. Students will measure and
record the temperature of each water
bath. Students will graph data of
temperature and volume of the gas.
Students will use the graph produced
during the syringe lab to formulate a
hypothesis relating pressure to
temperature.
Students will measure and record the
mass and initial temperature of an
unknown object and a room
temperature water bath. Students
will measure and record the
equilibrium temperature of both.
Students will analyze a phase
change graph and locate the
different phase changes and
describe the energy transfer
during each change.
Students will analyze the data
of the graph and evaluate the
relationship between
temperature and volume, and
predict the theory of absolute
zero.
Students will interpret a phase
diagram in order to relate
pressure and temperature to the
state of a substance.
Student will use calorimetry to
identify an unknown substance
based on the analysis of the
substances specific heat
capacity.
