• Formulate essential questions on the TRF, Cornell notes forms and take notes in their notebook

VOCABULARY

• See the previous posts and the unit overview above

ASSIGNMENT

Step 1 : Take your notebook and read all the notes you’ve taken so far. If there is something you don’t know, underline the words/sentences and make some research to clarify it.

Step 2 : Check the unit overview above to see which part of the list (« Students will know… ») you already know. If you need clarifications, grab your handbook and look for lessons talking about the subject (glossary, index, table of contents,…).

Step 3 : Manipulate the simulations on explore learning by logging in your account. Keep in mind the scientific method when using the app.

Step 4 : Evaluate your understanding by taking the assessment below the simulation. Read the overview to see what’s next and ask for new instructions.

Unit overview

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Students will…

• Identify the umbra and penumbra of a shadow.
• Model a partial and total solar eclipse.

VOCABULARY

• umbra, penumbra, lunar eclipse, solar eclipse

ASSIGNMENT

Part 1 : If you haven’t created your explore learning account, please read the post of 09/11/2019.

Part 2 : Search in your handbook or on internet the definition of the vocabulary. Write the definition in your notebook.

Part 3 : Gizmo Warm-up. Go to explore learning.

An eclipse occurs when the shadow of one celestial body falls on another celestial body. The 2D Eclipse Gizmo allows you to explore two types of eclipses: a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse. Notice that the objects in the Gizmo are not drawn to scale. If they were, the Sun would be located over 150 meters to the left and would be over a meter tall!

1. Next to Views, select Both shadows. Why do the Moon and Earth have shadows?
2. Notice there are two parts to each shadow. The darkest part is the umbra. The lighter part surrounding the umbra is the penumbra.
   • How much of the Sun would you see if you were standing in the umbra?
   • How much of the Sun would you see if you were standing in the penumbra?

Unit Overview

Learning Objectives

Students will…

• Observe and measure melting point, boiling point, and other transition temperatures for a variety of substances.

VOCABULARY

• Physical properties of matter, Chemical properties of matter, melting point, boiling point

ASSIGNMENT

Part 1 : If you haven’t created your explore learning account, please read the post of 09/11/2019.

Part 2 : Search in your handbook or on internet the definition of the vocabulary. Write the definition in your notebook.

Part 3 : Gizmo Warm-up. Go to explore learning.

Like socks in the dryer, solids are held together by molecular- scale forces. When solids are heated, molecules move faster and spread apart as the solid becomes liquid and gas. In the Melting Points Gizmo, you will measure the transition points at which melting and boiling occur for a variety of substances.

The Gizmo shows a lab device used to determine melting points and boiling points. A small amount of substance is placed in a glass tube and heated inside the device.

1. To begin, check that Sodium chloride is selected. Drag the dial to the right to apply heat.
   • When the temperature is around 600 °C, drag the dial back to 0. Notice that the sodium chloride is red-hot, but it is still a solid.
   • Drag the dial to the right. When the sodium chloride melts, move the dial back to 0. About what temperature does sodium chloride melt?
2. Click Reset. This time, decrease the setting on the dial as you get close to the melting point. Notice that melting occurs over a range of temperatures. Can you determine the exact range of temperatures over which melting occurs? (This may take several tries, be patient.) What is the temperature range over which melting occurs?
