​Learner Target

​Ask a Question
Write your question in your notebook.

​Example Question:


How do particles move in gases compared to liquids?

​Materials Needed:

• Plastic bottle with cap, 1 liter

• 1 Balloon

• Notebook

• String

• Ruler

​Record your observations for Step 2

​Your concept maps should provide observations and measurements related to both setups (sealed bottle and unsealed bottle), including reasons for any observed differences in the balloon’s circumference.

Imagine if you had filled the bottle with water before you started the experiment.
Explain how your results would be similar or different to the bottle filled with air.

Sentence Stem: When I squeeze the bottle of water, water would ________________
because water ________________________________.

Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning

Make a claim about detecting the movement of particles that are too small to be seen. Support your claim with evidence from your investigation and explain your reasoning.

Sample Answer

My claim is that you can detect particles too small to be seen. My evidence is that if I squeeze a balloon too hard it pops and I feel air come out. My reasoning is that the particles of air take up space in the balloon so I can feel it.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is true about air?

• It takes up space.

• It has no mass.

• It cannot be felt.

• Its particles are large enough to be seen.
