States of Matter: Cue's Clues (Gr. 6-8)

Description

In this lesson, students will work in small groups, researching the movement of molecules in ice, water, and gas. Then they will program multiple Cue robots to behave like molecules do in each state.

Objectives

  • Recognize the movement of molecules in each state of matter: ice, water, and gas
  • Illustrate the movement of molecules in each state
  • Use Cue as a physical model to explain the molecular behavior of ice, water, and gas
  • Coordinate the programs of several Cue robots to behave like a group of molecules in each state of matter
  • Implement loops and/or events in their program
