This is a sixth-grade student science experience tied to SEEd standard 6.2.2. In this experience students investigate the effects of heat energy on density of matter.
These experiences were designed to support students in engaging in science investigations with siblings and/or parents at home and then report back about what was discovered. They were created in a way that is easily adaptable for both online and printed formats. They are formatted to help students wonder about and investigate the science phenomena happening in the world around them. These experiences do not describe how students should write up and return work to their teacher. It is up to each teacher to adapt them to best meet student needs. When individualized by the teacher, a student could be asked to engage in one or more of these experiences a week and report back. This format aligns closely to the vision and expectation of the SEEd standards.

Once students have had an introductory density lesson and practice calculating density from mass and volume measurements, this lesson serves as follow-up to allow students to think critically about what makes one object more or less dense than another and to conduct an experiment to measure density of similar objects.

In this lesson on changes in matter, students will explore the difference between physical and chemical changes and identify indicators that can be used as evidence of a chemical change.

This interactive activity for grades 8-12 features eight models that explore atomic arrangements for gases, solids, and liquids. Highlight an atom and view its trajectory to see how the motion differs in each of the three primary phases. As the lesson progresses, students observe and manipulate differences in attractions among atoms in each state and experiment with adding energy to produce state changes. More advanced students can explore models of latent heat and evaporative cooling. This item is part of the Concord Consortium, a nonprofit research and development organization dedicated to transforming education through technology.

This Nearpod can be used for distance learning or in class to teach students about how temperature changes the density of fluids.

A google site that has a lesson plan for UT.SEEd.6.2.1, UT.SEEd.6.2.2, UT.SEEd.6.2.3, and UT.SEEd.6.2.4.

The cover picture was made by myself through canvaThis is a unit plan for Genius Hour Project.

Students will observe as the teacher performs a variety of chemical and/or physical reactions. The teacher will guide a discussion that reinforces the concepts that atoms and molecules are too small to see but that we know about them through their behavior.

This resource includes posters and images from the Modern Water Cycle collection by BYU and the USGS. The resources emphasize the two-way connection between humans and water. These specific posters and images are from the "Water in Agriculture" series. They address the question: How does water move across irrigated landscapes? This resource includes file attachments and activity ideas for utilizing the files in classroom instruction.

Students will identify different states of matter, make a model of the effect of heat energy on particles and connect Utah’s natural resources to Utah’s daily life and industry.

Students will design an "action Hero" based on the characteristics of a solid, liquid or gas.

This is an interactive, sixth-grade Nearpod lesson tied to SEEd standard 6.2.2. It guides students through information and activities about the effects of heat energy on water.
This resource is a student-ready, three-dimensional SEEd science lesson you can add to your Nearpod library. Many of the phenomena, text, and images come from UEN OER textbooks, Seedstorylines.org, ck12.org, and pixabay.com. Most videos are from youtube.com or pbslearningmedia.org. Many of the simulations were found at phet.colorado.edu, ck12.org, and pbslearningmedia.org. This lesson is unique to Nebo School District but was built with the help of many amazing ideas from teachers throughout Utah.

Watch different types of molecules form a solid, liquid, or gas. Add or remove heat and watch the phase change. Change the temperature or volume of a container and see a pressure-temperature diagram respond in real time. Relate the interaction potential to the forces between molecules.
