Temperature and Molecules

Objective: KWBAT construct a visual model that illustrates how molecules at higher temperatures have a greater average speed than molecules at colder temperatures.
Part 1

Part 1: Warm Up

Last time, we reviewed a model looking at the speed of molecules in hot and cold things. Today we will learn how this connects with a more complete definition of temperature!

Vocabulary to use in EACH of your statements:
  • TEMPERATURE
  • MOLECULES
  • ENERGY

Reflect: Are molecules in warm water moving faster or slower than molecules in cool water? What makes you think that?

I think molecules in warm water move (faster / slower) than molecules in cool water because

1

Molecules move really fast in ice cold lemonade.
Explain if this is true or false.

Sentence starter:
This is (true/false) because....

1

Molecules move really fast in hot chocolate.
Explain if this is true or false.

Sentence starter:
This is (true/false) because....

1

Molecules move really slow in Cup of Noodles.
Explain if this is true or false.

Sentence starter:
This is (true/false) because....

Find a quote that answers this question.

What is temperature?

1
When an object's molecules move at a faster speed, the object has a __________ temperature.

When an object's molecules move at a slower speed, the object has a __________ temperature.
1

True or False: If none of the molecules were moving, then the average speed of the molecules would be zero.
