Explore the relationship between molecular motion, temperature, and phase changes. Compare the molecular structure of solids, liquids, and gases. Graph temperature changes as ice is melted and water is boiled. Find the effect of altitude on phase changes. The starting temperature, ice volume, altitude, and rate of heating or cooling can be adjusted.

This is a version of instructions I made to be used with a science notebook.
Best For:
8th Grade Science
This worksheets allows students to interpret a graph showing data collected during phase changes of water... (more). Then they state a claim answering the question "How is temperature related to phase changes?" and support it with evidence and reasoning.
