Thermal Energy and States of Matter

Hey everyone,

I know that I zoomed through today's lesson on Thermal Energy and States of Matter. Check out the website below, answer the questions, and post your answers. EXTRA CREDIT FOR THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE!

Questions to answer in your post:
1. Name the three states of Matter.
2. What is the difference between a Chemical change and a Physical change?
3. Describe what the freezing point of something is.
4. Give me an example of a physical change and a chemical change.
5. When you have an increase in evaporation, what happens to the pressure and the molecular energy of an object?

Looking forward to reading some well thought out posts!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! This is a space for my Brogden science students to get information about my class. Feel free to comment...I love to know what you think! I will be updating this blog as much as possible. After Christmas break, I am going to start adding posts almost daily.

There will be some chances for students who read the blog to get extra credit. More info to come...
