2. True/False: Solids move about easily.
3. Explain the following statement: Even things that aren't moving, are actually moving.  How is this possible?
4. If you had a super-powerful microscope that could zoom in on the tiny stuff that makes up matter, it would look like millions of little lumps.

2.  Describe the arrangement and movement of the particles as you change from a gas to a liquid.  Describe the arrangement and movement of the particles as you change from a liquid to a solid.
3.  Pick 2 phase transitions and make a sketch of them.  Describe whether energy is lost or gained in this transition.  


  C. 
       -Play the interactive game-
1.       What happens to the liquid when you heat it?  When you heat something, do you add or subtract energy from 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.
