5 5 Reading Exercise Directions: Read the story and answer the questions that follow it in the spaces provided. Use the back of the sheet if necessary. It was a beautiful winter day. he sky was clear, and the temperature was just a little chilly. Mr. Washington s class was studying the different phases of matter, and he had arranged a field trip to the forest preserve so students could observe some phase changes in nature. Mr. Washington asked the students to get their boots, coats, hats, and mittens on. Each student was also to take along a pencil and a pad of paper to take notes on his or her observations of the different phase changes in the forest preserve. 1. After entering the forest preserve, they crossed a small foot bridge. Mr. Washington asked them to observe the brook which ran under the bridge. It was frozen and there was no running water to be seen. What was the phase change that occurred in the brook? 2. Next, they came upon a picnic area with tables. Mr. Washington asked the class to sit down at the tables and to look up at the sky. He asked them to observe the sky and to tell him what they saw. hey saw many fluffy white clouds above. What was the phase change that occurred in order to create the clouds? 3. While they were sitting down, Mr. Washington and his student teacher poured a cup of hot chocolate for each student to drink during the break. He asked them to observe the phase change that was occurring in the hot chocolate and tell him what they saw. he students said that they saw steam coming off the top of the cup of hot chocolate. What was the phase change that was occurring in the hot chocolate? 4. he class time was drawing to a close and it was getting colder and cloudier outside. Mr. Washington suggested that they return to school. All the students got up from the picnic tables and formed a line to walk back to the school. All of a sudden, the children had a big surprise - huge snowflakes started to fall from the sky. Mr. Washington was so excited about showing them yet another phase change. What was the phase change that created the snow? 5. Extra Credit: Write a short story about Mr. Washington s class and their walk in the forest preserve. his time imagine that the class is walking in the spring, summer, or fall. Be creative and think up all the different phase changes that they might observe.

6 6 Investigating Phase Changes Objective In this activity you will explore the phase changes of melting and freezing. Materials Pencil Data able hermometer Ice in container Clock with second hand Spoon Procedure 1. Your teacher will provide you with a thermometer, ice, and a container. 2. Carefully place the thermometer in the container of ice. After allowing the thermometer to rest in the ice for one minute, read the thermometer and record the temperature in the data table. 3. ake a temperature reading nearly every minute until all the ice is melted. Occasionally, stir the ice with a spoon. Melting Data able ime in minutes emperature in degrees centigrade Conclusion As a class, discuss what phase change occurred. Discuss the relationship between the phase change and the change in temperature. Discuss other examples of phase changes that occur in your school, home, or neighborhood. Make a list of these phase changes.

7 7 Phase Change Data able Objective In this activity, you will identify and describe some common phase changes. Materials Pencil Phase Change Data able Procedure Complete the Phase Change Data able by filling in the correct answers. Phase Change Data orm Material Original Phase New Phase Phase Change Ice cream Water in puddles Outside a cold glass Butter Steam from hot tea Surface of a pond Water in pot on stove Conclusion On the back of this sheet, answer the following. 1. Explain where or in what type of conditions three of the seven phase changes might occur. 2. Describe the phase change that you most enjoy or is most important in your life.

8 8 Post - est Directions: ill in the blank with the correct word and answer the questions with the appropriate response. Each question is worth 10 points. 1. All objects are made of. 2. he phases of matter common on earth are,, and. 3. A phase is the process of matter in one phase changing to another phase. 4. is the process of a solid changing to a liquid. 5. Phase changes are caused by being added or taken away. 6. he particles in gases move than in liquids. 7. Condensation occurs when a gas changes to a. 8. Water freezes at degrees centigrade. 9. Water boils at degrees centigrade. 10. is the process of a liquid slowly changing to a gas.
