Students will be able to:
-compare and contrast the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
-describe the motion of particles in solids, liquids, and/or gases.
-label and identify all the states of matter.

Students completed the following bell ringer:
Gina slid her tennis shoes across the floor, and the bottom of her shoes became warm. What happens to the kinetic energy of Gina and her shoes as she slides across the floor?

A. The kinetic energy is converted to light energy.
B. The kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
C. The kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.
D. The kinetic energy is converted to chemical energy.

Students updated their interactive notebook by pasting in pages a - k in the back of the notebook.

Students then completed the write up for the lab Melting Ice. Since we did not complete the conclusions, we will complete them, along with notes of phases of matter, on Monday or Tuesday.

Notebooks will be collected Monday or Tuesday, after we complete the notes.
