Give each student one copy of the Three Questions Handout or have them take out their existing copies. Put a copy of the Three Questions 11 x 17 Poster on the wall for reference if it is not there already. A change in mass shows that molecules are moving. Evidence We Can Observe Moving solids, liquids, and gases are made of moving molecules. Scale: The movement question can be answered at the atomic-molecular, cellular, or macroscopic scale. Question Where are molecules moving? How do molecules move to the location of the chemical change? How do molecules move away from the location of the chemical change? Rules to Follow All materials (solids, liquids, and gases) are made of atoms that are bonded together in molecules. Note that matter movement is addressed at both the beginning (1) and end (4) of your explanation. Pause the video to discuss the questions posed on the screen before students complete the predictions tool.Īnswer each of the questions (numbered 1-4) below to explain how matter and energy move and change in a system.

Watch the Mealworms Video until the first intermission where Darryl and Nina ask students to make predictions about what happens when mealworms eat.

Tell students that in this lesson, they will be investigating what happens when mealworms eat, move, and breathe to learn more about what happens to matter and energy during chemical changes.
