• They do not move.

• They are always moving.

• The move past each other slowly.

• They move very fast in all directions.

Ben wants to model how the motion of particles changes with temperature. He considers water in an iron pot. Ben draws a model to show how the water particles and iron particles move at room temperature. Then he draws a second model to show how the water particles and iron particles move as the pot of water is heated. Based on this evidence, how should Ben’s second model differ from the first? SC.8.P.8.1

• The water particles should vibrate faster, and the iron particles should not move.

• Both the water particles and the iron particles should slide past each other faster.

• The water particles should slide past each other faster, and the iron particles should vibrate faster.

• The water particles should move freely in all directions, and the iron particles should slide past each other faster.

What will be the effect on a cube of ice in a closed container left on a counter at room temperature for 30 minutes? SC.7.P.11.1

• The cube will continue to have the same shape and volume.

• The cube will melt and take on the shape and volume of the container.

• The cube will melt and take on the volume of the container, but not the shape.

• The cube will melt and take on the shape of the container, but not the volume.
