Seeing Atoms in ActionMiddle SchoolLauren & Bobby
Objectives•Determine the behavior of atoms with
temperature (MS-PS1-3)•Visualize the movement of atoms•Demonstrate the different properties of
water•(MS-LS1-3)•Compare adhesion, cohesion, and
capillary action (MS-LS2-3)
Review: What is an Atom?•Smallest unit of an element•“If an apple was magnified to the size of
the Earth, then the atoms in the apple would be approximately the size of the original apple” (Feynman, 1995).
•Composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons
Temperature•Influences the speed atoms travel•As temperature increases, the speed of
atoms increases•As temperature decreases, the speed of
atoms decreases
TemperatureThink of a pot of boiling water
Question: What happens to the water when you turn up the heat on the stove? Why?

Solid What is a solid?
Rigid structure Atoms are close together Little movement
Atoms
Liquid•What is a liquid?
▫More movement of molecules▫Molecules are still close together, but can
slide▫Takes the shape of the container▫Definite volume

Gas•What is a gas?
▫Constant movement of molecules▫Takes space of entire container▫No definite volume▫No definite shape
Increasing Temperature (Heating)•Solid Liquid (Add heat)
▫Example: Melting butter in a saucepan•Liquid Gas (Add heat)
▫Example: Boiling water

Decreasing Temperature (Cooling)•Gas Liquid (Cooling)
▫Condensation on the mirror after a shower•Liquid Solid (Cooling)
▫Making Jell-O
Solid Liquid Gas
Heat decreases

Capillary Action
Water•What does it mean to be adhesive?•What does it mean to be cohesive?
Adhesion of Water•The ability of water to stick to another
surface•An example of adhesion is when a water
droplet sticks to the leaf of a tree
Cohesion of water•Unique property that makes it possible for
water to stick to itself•Ex. Water droplet
Surface tension•Contractive tendency of the surface of a
liquid that allows it to resist an external force (science.yourdictionary.com).
Capillary Action•Is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow
spaces without the assistance of, and in opposition to external forces like gravity. (science.yourdictionary.com)
•Both adhesion and cohesion allow for this to occur
•Ex. The xylem of wood plants is used to get water from the roots of the plant to the leaves. The way this is done is through capillary action.
Other examples of Capillary Action•Paint brush- to pick up paint•Cleaning up a spill with paper towels•Release tears from ducts of the eye
