Hello, lovelies, and welcome to remote learning with Miss Chaney. Unfortunately, we have to do this right now. And that's okay, right? We're just gonna make the best of it and have a good time, okay? I've got a fun project for us to do today. We're going to be learning about the states of matter, which is something you've probably learned about before. Write the difference between a solid, a liquid, and a gas. But now that we've been studying chemistry with, and getting a better understanding of what molecules are, of what elements are, we're going to take a closer look at what solid liquid and gas is as in reference to the molecules and how they're arranged to the motion that they're doing and then the energy that goes into it. All things that we've kind of touched on, but never actually put all cohesively together. Which will be a lot of fun for all of us. You guys interact with water on a daily basis, right? So you've seen water as in liquid form. You've seen water in solid form as ice, and we've all experienced water right as a gas. Maybe when you're cooking, literally you can breathe. And that's water vapors right there in your hand, right? So now that we're online, we're doing this remote learning. I've set up on your Google Classroom and assignment for you. So the first thing is I want you to watch the YouTube video by veritasium. The host Derek, he goes around any interviews a bunch of people on what the on the different states of matter with water and since these are all adults, I thought you would kind of enjoy that they don't get the answers right. And they also too, and he kind of pulls out of them talking about energy talking about the arrangements of molecules and you'll see that all in the video. The next thing I want you to do after you watch the video is I want you to open up the Google document that I have attached to this assignment. And it's going to give you instructions on running a simulation software. So a simulation software is a program that represents a real tool, right? So our simulation, there is the technology to be able to watch these molecules vibrating and moving. First of all, it's very expensive and huge. We'd have to go to a laboratory to be able to experience this. So here we are, we're able to watch it as just pictures on the screen, right? And at least we get to interact with it. We are the simulation. It's called a bomb calorimeter. It's about it's an object, well, the ones I use were about yeah big, okay? And it's going to regulate very specifically the pressure and the temperature within, and you would put different elements, different chemicals in there, and then you screw the lid on and regulate that pressure and temperature, and you can really control the pushing those elements into the different states of matter. And you'll find there are a couple of different elements to do. Where most familiar with water, everything else, where my chair is solid, it's not going to change well, that's not true. You know, we can't actually change those elements by putting that energy into it, okay? So I want you to play around with that. I want you to do some self-exploring really follow through with my Google document. There are questions embedded in the Google document, and I want you to stop and answer those as you go through. Okay? Because that's going to tell me that you're using the software correctly and that you're understanding what that software is representing. Okay? Now, if we return to in-person learning, I'm going to give you back your Google documents with some comments on there. I've got a rubric here. Let me go over real briefly with you, okay? First of all, I want to make sure that you know how to run the simulation. And answering those questions is going to show me that you properly ran the simulation. Secondly, the YouTube, I'm going to ask you a couple of questions about the show just to make sure that you know that you watched it. Content, again, if you're answering the questions correctly, your understanding the content of what we're trying to learn, Google document, if you did not answer any questions, then you didn't use the Google document. Correctly, right? Turn in the assignment. You're going to need to upload your Google document back into the Google Classroom. And that's going to show me that you know you're probably using your Google Classroom directions. Obviously, I will know if you're following directions or not. If you didn't properly turn in the assignment, if you didn't use the software properly, if you didn't answer your questions properly. Also, when we get back together, so I'm going to call grade your Google document based on my rubric. I also pass out this big sheet questionnaire. And this is also going to tell me about what content that you remember and things like that, right? When we get back together, we're also going to go over that chapter in our textbook about the states of matter in depth. And so this is kind of an introduction into it, and then diving deep in. So don't worry if you don't quite have all the correct answers. That's okay, right? The biggest thing is I want to make sure that you did the assignment and that you are retaining some of the information, okay? Because we'll review. We're going to go together. We'll make sure we're partners, right? You know, I'm the teacher on the leader. You're the students. Look at this. Okay? What else? Oh, if we have time. I don't know. Because quarantining is weird and remote learning is weird, right? That's okay. It's working, at least we're able to do this. You know what I mean? It's been a crazy last year. This year has been a little rough going, but that's okay. We're here together. We got this, okay? So if we have time, I'd love to do it a lab with you. An actual in-person lab where we can see the different states of matter with water, water is kind of the easiest because it's kind of a unique molecule, and we can see those different states. I've got a couple other elements in class that we can talk about what their state of matter is and how they move and things like that. It made me hopefully get to get to change one. That's only if we have time. That's only if we have time, okay? Hey lovelies, Let's talk about if we do get to do this lesson in person. If we, for whatever reason, get to go out of quarantine early, right? Then there is a way I'm going to, we're going to do it in the classroom. First, we'll watch the video altogether. And then we'll separate into our partners, probably our shoulder partners. As opposed to the face-to-face, let's do the shoulder partners. I think that will work better. One person will have a handout, which is the same Google instructions, Google document instructions. And then the other person will be manipulating the simulator and then we'll take turns, right? Swap positions so that everybody gets the chance to use it. A couple of things as we're going through, there might be a few problems or misconceptions, okay? One of the biggest ones is changing states does not only have to do with temperature, okay? That temperature is a measurement of the actual energy going into the element, all right? That's kind of a big thing I want to clear up. So do connect the idea of it's actually energy that's changing the motion of the molecules, causing them to vibrate, which then changes the arrangement of the molecules, which then is what the state of matter is, right? Okay, you'll see, you'll see, you'll do the simulation. You'll be like, oh, I get it down this tree. Anyways, okay. Is there anything else you do it on your own pace? Okay, no need to rush this. Do try and make sure you get in all your homework done, but this assignment is supposed to be a little bit more fun, more of an introduction into the states of matter. So take your time with it and have a good time, okay? I really get to play with that software. It's a fun, it's a fun software. See if you can pop the lid off a bomb calorimeter. That's a lot of fun. Okay. And so anything else we need to know. So we've just a quick recap where we're reviewing the states of matter. We are understanding how energy motion and molecule arrangement has to do with the states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas. We're really focusing on water. We're watching our YouTube video first. Over snow. First, we're accessing the whole thing in Google Classroom. Then we're watching our YouTube video. Then we're playing around with a simulation software, then we are turning in our Google document assignment that had the instructions to use the software. Okay. Let me know if you have any questions. Hopefully, by the end of this, you'll be able to describe all of the states of matter, how energy, motion and molecules work together. And yeah, I think this is going to be good. All right, thank you, lovelies. Have a wonderful day. I miss you. I will see you soon. And hopefully, we can be in the classroom together. All right. Won't talk to you later. Bye.
