Students answer questions that elicit knowledge of how solid, pure substances are made of many molecules.
Students reflect on the rock candy phenomenon to figure out what they know and what they still need to discover to explain it.
Students look at the periodic table and samples of bulk materials to investigate emergent properties of the samples.
Students use simulations, readings, and videos to describe how different substances appear at the molecular level.
Students use simulations, readings, and videos to describe how different substances appear at the molecular level.
Students create models of simple and extended molecular structures.
Students create models of simple and extended molecular structures.
Students construct a final explanation for the cycle phenomenon and complete a formative assessment.
In the previous cycle, students learned that the atomic structure of solids determine properties of solubility and melting point in solids.
