Show what you think was happening above and around the area where the precipitation fell, 

at 3 different points in time.

• Use pictures, symbols, and words to help explain what caused these changes to happen over time.

IN YOUR NOTEBOOK

Develop an initial model to explain

 “What causes this kind of precipitation event to occur?”

What do you think happened in this system that would help explain what caused this kind of precipitation event?

I think this precipitation was caused by ______________________________________________________________________

I think this because __________________________________________________________________________________

In our Cup Design Unit, we made ways to show what happens to matter and energy in a system. Let’s look at them again to see if they can help us explain the changes we see outside during precipitation events.  En nuestra unidad de diseño de vasos, creamos maneras de mostrar qué le sucede a la materia y la energía en un sistema. Vamos a revisarlas de nuevo para ver si nos pueden ayudar a explicar los cambios que vemos afuera durante los eventos de precipitación.

• How did we represent the particles that make up different states of matter in a gas, a liquid, and a solid? ¿Cómo representamos las partículas que forman los diferentes estados de la materia en un gas, un líquido y un sólido?

Open Ended

• How did we represent the different ways that energy can be transferred into and out of a system like a cup with liquid in it? ¿Cómo representamos las diferentes maneras en que la energía puede transferirse dentro y fuera de un sistema, como un vaso con líquido?

What do you think was happening at the particle level that might help us explain what was happening in this event?

Turn to this model in your notebook

Identify 3 places in the middle frame of your initial model where you think important changes were happening at the particle level in the air or water above.  Label the changes in the circles below after you draw the change.
