Students are able to explain the five points of the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases which are. They complete an experiment where water is added to a tincan so that students can see the condensed water vapor rise out of the tin can . This gives the demonstrator an idea that the air in the tin can has been warmed. Full Review »

Students explore kinetic-molecular energy and the proximity of particles in states of matter. In groups, they perform experiments and explore the phenomenon of substances as they are heated and cooled. Students describe the molecule's behavior and energy and complete a heating and cooling curve graph. Full Review »
