Lesson: Changes of State Science • First Year of Preparatory School

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe and explain changes of state, and identify these changes through diagrams and heating curves.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

name and describe the processes that result in changes of state,
explain the processes of melting, vaporization, freezing, condensation, and sublimation,
describe changes of state in terms of the arrangement, attractive forces, motion, and energy of particles,
recognize that the mass of a substance does not change during changes of state,
describe what latent heat is,
identify states and changes in state from heating and cooling curves.
