TEACHER COMMENTS:

States Of Matter Lab Introduction:

Water changes from different states. When water is turned to ice the molecules dont move as much because of the strong attraction, and it turns into a solid. When ice is melted the molecules move but the attraction is weak, that what makes it a liquid. When water is boiled by adding energy the particles move around a lot and they become apart and turned into steam which is a gas. When you heat up the solid(ice)
Research questions: The purpose of this experiment is to answer to following question:

As water changes from one state to another, will particle movement increase, decrease or stay the same? (solid to liquid to gas to liquid, etc.)
You will need to write some specic research questions here. You can write these ahead of time, or as you do your research. By the end, you should know: How do the molecules behave in a solid? They are packed together, movement restricted. Very strong attraction. How do the molecules behave in a liquid? Not very packed, have movement. Moves around sometimes

Natasha Lui

How do the molecules behave in a gas? They contain a larger amount of energy so they move around really quickly and are constantly changing shape and volume. A gases molecules will contract and expand depending on the environment around the gas. What happens to the molecules as they change from a solid to a liquid? The molecules is getting energy which makes them vibrate which lets the solid break free from its shape and turn into a liquid. What happens to the molecules as they change from a liquid to a gas? Energy is added, causing the molecules to react to the added energy. What happens to the molecules as they change from a gas to a liquid? The way that molecules turn a gas into a liquid is the gas is that the energy is being taken away from the molecules, slowing down the molecules. What happens to the molecules as they change from a liquid to a solid? You could increase the pressure to push those molecules together. What causes matter to change from one state to another state? When matter obtains more energy, the molecules expand and detach from one another, changing states of matter. When changing from a solid to a liquid and from a liquid to a gas, the temperature of the matter rises. When the matter changes from a gas to liquid and a liquid to solid, the temperature of the matter descends.

Variables:
The independent variable is: (the one variable that you will change) By adding heat.

Natasha Lui

Thursday, 16 May 2013 8:39:02 AM Hong Kong SAR China Time

The dependent variable is: (The variable that you are investigating)

Particle movement.

Control Variables
The factors that you keep the same, so that the experiment is a fair test. Try and list at least 5.

Factors to be controlled: 1 The amount of heat added. 2 The positioning of the thermometer. 3 The amount of ice put into the beaker.

Reason it needs to be controlled: The wrong amount of heat may differ the resulting product. The wrong position will give an inaccurate measuring of heat. The wrong amount of ice could vary the time that it takes to melt, differ the amount of water in the beaker and change the nal result. This may change what happens to the water and the water bottle. The temperature recorded by the thermometer will be wrong.

How it will be controlled: We will keep the hot plate at a consistent temperature. We will use a device that will hold the thermometer in place. We will carefully drop individual ice cubes into the beaker.

4 The amount of time we wait for the water to cool. 5 If we wait for the water to heat up even more after it has been melted from ice.

We will time 15 minutes.

We will carefully watch the ice melt.

Hypothesis:
What will happen to the dependent variable as the independent variable is changed? The particles will be given energy which allows it to change from one state of matter to another. Why?

Natasha Lui

Thursday, 16 May 2013 8:39:02 AM Hong Kong SAR China Time

It will change because when the particles get energy, the particles start moving faster, which makes the molecules spread out, move randomly and form into a liquid or a gas. What would that relationship look like? Try to graph or illustrate this:

The temperature gradually went up and I saw vapor and little bubbles forming in the bottom of the beaker. The bubbles are forming because the particles are moving faster, steam forms and thats when we know that the particles are turning into gas. The more the temperature rises the weaker the attraction of the particles and the quicker the movement.

Conclusion:

From the graph, the results show (What happens to the dependent variable as the independent variable changes?) . . .

! From the graph, The results were quite surprising because my group expected that in a matter minutes the water would start boiling. The temperature we started was 3c and the minute we turned on the hot plate , 3 minutes later the temperature was 2c. We were very worried but I thought it was a teacher trick . Then a few minutes later it was 10c, then I found out that my statistics about a teacher trick was wrong. But, I knew I was being silly. The

process was very sluggish. During that process I got a lot done which was good. Then it went up to 50c so we didnt need to copy anything so, instead of looking for a long time we goofed off. Some went to go talk to others and some went to doodling. Then a miracle happened the temperature went to 72c. We then stopped doodling and started recording the temperature.

This happens because (Consider the concepts you used in your hypothesis). This is a good place to include some diagrams if they will help explain your ideas.

It will change because when the particles get energy, the particles start moving faster, which makes the molecules spread out, move randomly and form into a liquid or a gas.
