How Temperature Effects Water's Properties
| Learner Outcome | Content | Learning Strategy |
Understand that water expands when it heats and contracts as it cools. Build a water thermometer. |
expansion contraction thermometer temperature |
Full Option Science System (FOSS): Water Module Activity 2, Part 1 Begin Student Water Log using: |
Observe and describe the interactions of water with different temperatures. Understand that cold water sinks and that warm water rises. Introduce the concept of density. |
sink float hot water ice water density |
FOSS: Water Module Activity 2, Part 2 Begin Student Water Log using: |
Compare properties of two states of water: Liquid and solid (ice). Understand that ice melts because heat is added. Understand that water freezes because heat is taken away. |
ice freeze expansion contraction distort melt |
FOSS: Water Module Activity 2, Part 3 Begin Student Water Log using: |
Understand that water weighs more than the same volume of ice. |
expand volume heavier lighter density balance scale |
FOSS: Water Module Activity 2, Part 3 Record and predict what will happen when the ice melts. |
Understand that ice floats. Understand that ice water sinks to the bottom of a container of room temperature water. |
density cold water sinks melting temperature |
FOSS: Water Module Activity 2, Part 3 Record and predict what will happen when the ice melts. |
