The following is a lab for you to explore how the temperature of water affects its behavior.
You will need, 2 glasses, hot and cold water, food coloring and a timer. If you have a thermometer that would add quantitative data as well.
If you do not have the materials a video is provided for you to watch instead.


Draw a model of what you think is happening inside the cups. Imagine you could ZOOM in with a very powerful microscope.
Label and describe the important parts of your model.
Which beaker had food coloring spread out evenly the fastest?

You are now going to use the A/B Partner Protocol to share your ideas with a partner in a break out room.
1) Decide who will be Partner A and who will be Partner B. (Write this down in your journal.)
2) Partner A will have three minutes to go through the whole protocol.
3) You will then switch and Partner B will then have three minutes to share their ideas.
It is important that you use the sentence prompts in the protocol.


Choose one of the following videos to watch.
Choose one of the following readings.
As the thermal energy (heat) increases, the movement of particles ______________.
As the movement of particles (kinetic energy) increases, the spacing between the particles ______________.
