Creating Atoms lesson plan
- Atoms
Family
How big is an atom? Try this experiment to find out for
yourself. Cut " . . . a twenty-eight centimeter strip
of paper in half as many times as you can. If you can cut
the strip of paper in half thirty-one times you will end
up with a piece of paper the size of an atom. Each monster
member of the Atoms Family introduces a topic such as Atoms
and Matter, Energy Conservation, and Light Waves. Under
each topic, you will find a variety of activities and learning
pages for grades four through twelve.
- The
Movement of Liquid Molecules
An activity through which students will be able to visualize
and better understand the concept of the constant motion
of molecules.
- Kinetic
Molecular Theory with Popcorn
A game in which popcorn kernels are used as molecules and
margarine is the bonding force. Heating produces physical
changes which are analogous to the melting and boiling of
matter.
- Phases
of Matter
Shows how the element or molecule changes phases at different
temperatures.
- Matter
A collection of websites about Matter.
Forces
and Simples Machines
- Simple
Machine Parts
Students will take apart and examine different parts in
toys. Through this they will better understand the concept
of cause and effect in simple machines.
- Marvelous
Machines
This is a series of experiments about simple machines: levers,
wheels and inclined planes.
- Exploring
Simple Machines WebQuest
A web quest in which students identify different types of
simple machines so that they can invent their own machines.
