       -Play the interactive game-

1.       What happens to the liquid when you heat it?

2.       Does the gas stay in one beaker?  Where does it go?  Why does this happen?  (Think: Energy)

3.       Cool down the gas.  What happens (Use your science vocabulary)?  Why does the liquid appear in both beakers?

4.       Heat the liquid again.  What happens to the gases when you remove the lids?  Why does this happen?

5.      Describe the motion of the atoms in each beaker.

6.  Sort the 9 items into their correct Phase of Matter; make a list in your notebook.

7.       Take the Quiz; write the answers into your notebook.
