A Day 11/7 and B Day 11/8
Objective: Students can use diffusion to explain that particles are always moving and that particle motion (energy) is related to temperature
Do now: Write a couple sentences answering the following prompt: How can you tell if an object has more kinetic energy? Give an example.
Use spring simulation as review: http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/mass-spring-lab
Macroscopic energy quiz
Diffusion demonstration and whiteboarding activity- bottle of perfume (Take home point: all matter is made of particles, particles are always moving)
Diffusion demonstration with cold and hot water, whiteboard (Take home point: the more energy particles have, the faster they move)
Assignment: No new work, make sure you don't have any outstanding missing assignments
