Computational Thinking in Science and Math

Lesson 6 - Modeling Liquids and Evaporation

---

In the last activity you explored how pressure and temperature might impact the gas inside of a closed container. As part of this unit, you also attempted to replicate the behavior of a steam piston in your syringe sandbox model. However, we did not consider the role of water in this model (as steam is heated water). In an earlier activity, you also explored how an odor travels through a room. However, we did not consider that the odor came from peppermint oil, a liquid.

Purpose: How do substances change from one state to another?
