Presentation Transcript

  1. Particle Diagrams STATES OF MATTER

  2. POSITIVES • Gas shows motion NEGATIVES • Fails to show motion of solid or liquid particles • Fails to maintain number of particles • May cause misconceptions about volume (all 3 fill the container)

  3. POSITIVES • Shows particle motion NEGATIVES • May cause misconceptions about shape and volume (all 3 fill container) • Fails to maintain number of particles

  4. POSITIVES • Relates to real-world objects/substances • Discusses particle arrangement and motion/energy NEGATIVES • Fails to show particle motion • Fails to maintain number of particles

  5. POSTIVES • Shows shape and volume well (3 dimensional!) • Discusses shape and volume NEGATIVES • Fails to show particles in solid and liquid • Fails to illustrate particle motion

  6. POSITVES • Shows shape and volume well (especially for gas) • Maintains number of particles NEGATIVES • Fails to show particle motion

  7. POSTIVES • Shows particle motion • Shows shape and volume well • Maintains number of particles NEGATIVES • ?

  8. PHET Simulator

  9. POSTIVES • Shows shape and volume well • Includes plasma • Describes particle arrangement and motion • Discusses/shows energy NEGATIVES • Fails to illustrate particle motion • Fails to maintain number of particles

  10. POSTIVES • Shows shape • Shows solid structure • Includes plasma • Illustrates energy (“heat”) NEGATIVES • Fails to show particle motion • Fails to maintain number of particles • May cause misconceptions about density • Some are shown in 3D but some are not

  11. ASSIGNMENT: States of Matter Diagram • Illustrate your own states of matter particle diagram. • Include as many positive characteristics as you can • Illustrate shape/volume • Maintain number of particles • Illustrate particle motion • Include energy • Limit negative characteristics as much as possible • Avoid things that may cause misconceptions
