Description

A 3D, third person, point and click adventure. Take robot 2001 through a series of experiments, where they will get a close, first hand look at states of matter and how they change state, depending on temperature and pressure.

Vocabulary Words

matter
states of matter
extrinsic properties
thermal energy
pressure
solid
shape
volume
liquid
Bunsen Burner
crucible
dry ice

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Effects of Temperature and Pressure on State. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

A liquid maintains its volume, but flows to take the shape of its container.(MS)
A gas can flow and expand to take the volume and shape of its container.(MS)
There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
In a liquid, particles of matter move relative to one another but remain in contact.
A decrease in temperature causes the particles of matter to move more slowly.
When thermal energy is added to a substance, it can change from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or solid to gas.
In a gas, particles of matter move relative to one another and do not remain in contact.
A solid maintains its shape and volume.
In a solid, particles of matter are closely spaced.
An increase in temperature causes the particles in matter to move more rapidly.
State of matter is an extrinsic property of matter that depends on conditions such as temperature and pressure.
In a gas, particles of matter are widely spaced except when they collide.
In a solid, particles of matter vibrate in place and do not move relative to each other.
When thermal energy is removed from a substance, it can change from gas to liquid, liquid to solid, or gas to solid.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What states of matter do you know? What are some examples of each? What causes water to change states of matter?

After the Game

What are three properties of a solid? What are the differences in movement of molecules among a solid, liquid and gas? What types of laboratory equipment did you use throughout the game? What are the two things necessary for matter to change its state? As temperature increases, what happens to the movement of the particles in matter? What is an example of a solid turning directly to a gas, skipping the liquid state? As thermal energy is removed, what happens to the particles in matter?
