States of Matter/Collaborative Learning

This collaborative learning goal aims to help students identify different states of matter and their characteristics using the Jigsaw Method. Students work in home groups and expert groups to gather information and present findings on solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. The goal is to understand the natural sequence of states of matter, factors influencing state changes, and particle motion. Through positive interdependence and collaborative efforts, students enhance their knowledge and teamwork skills. The Jigsaw Method encourages active participation, engagement, and accountability. This approach promotes a deeper understanding of the subject matter and fosters a sense of unity in the learning process.

  1. States of Matter/Collaborative Learning Goal: To be able to identify the states of matter and some characteristics of each state of matter. Positive Interdependence/Collaborative Student Work The Jigsaw Method

  2. The Jigsaw Method • Organizing students into HOME groups that are responsible to each other for specific information • Utilizing EXPERT groups to assist each student in learning their needed information to assist their HOME group in being successful • Allowing students to work collaboratively to learn

  3. What do we know about the different states of matter? • How many are there? • What are they? • Solid • Liquid • Gas • Plasma • Bose/Einstein Condensates • What is the natural sequence for states of matter? From what to what? • What may dictate the state the matter is in? • (ice skater, freezer) Prime Time I Building Background Knowledge before putting students into groups

  4. Home Groups • Number off in your groups of 4 • One is Solid • Two is Liquid • Three is Gas • Four is Plasma

  5. Expert Groups • Solid Experts will go to tables 1 or 2 • Liquid Experts will go to tables 3 or 4 • Gas Experts will go to tables 5 or 6 • Plasma Experts will go to tables 7 or 8

  6. Expert Groups • You have 7 minutes to answer these 5 questions • Find two examples of your state of matter • Will a change in temperature affect your two selected examples • How? • What is the Arrangement of molecules • State one interesting fact of your state of matter • What is the speed of particles (fast, medium, slow) • What is the type of motion (vibrational, translational, rotational)

  7. Home Group • You now have 8 minutes to report back to your Home group and organize your information for each state of matter (two minutes each) • Each group member must have the characteristics of each state of matter listed on your paper with examples

  8. Grading Rubric • Individual Grade • The student needs to be able to provide what he/she brought back to their home group as the expert • Group Grade • The group needs to be held responsible for the completion of their document as a team

  9. Exit Goal ~ Prime Time II • The use of the Jigsaw method in any subject area: • What topic could you utilize this method of collaboration with? • What should the teacher be doing while the students work in their groups? • How does it help to create set time expectations? • Is every student held responsible, why or why not?
