Temperature Changes

THE MELTING POT

Mark Kendall, a third-grader, was watching The Wizard of Oz on DVD with his dad and his little sister, Marie. When the movie got to the part where the wicked witch melts in water, Mark made a joke, “See; I told you it’s dangerous to take baths!”

His dad, Jack, laughed heartily because he knew how much his son hated getting a bath. Left to his own devices, Mark would have green slime coming out of his eyes and ears.

Marie, who had just started kindergarten, spoke in a more serious tone, “You can’t melt in water. But I know that ice melts when you leave it in a cup on the counter.”

Mark and his dad knew that Marie was not quite a jokester. She took everything that was said at face value. Maybe it was because she was too young to really understand when someone was joking, or maybe it was because she was just a very serious little girl that prided herself on being the smartest in the class and in the house, for that matter.

“That’s right, Marie. You are such a smart little girl!” their dad commended.

“But Daddy, I don’t understand why things melt,” Marie frowned. “One time, I left my chocolate bar in Mom’s car, and it melted all over my boaster seat.”

“And boy, was she mad!” laughed Mark. “I didn’t think you would survive that one, Marie. Mom made you scrub that seat until every trace of chocolate had vanished.”

Marie glared at Mark. She did not like getting into trouble and disliked being reminded of her mishaps even more.

Their dad sensed the tension in the air and decided to move the conversation forward. “Well, honey, many common materials like water, metal, and glass can be changed from one state to another when you alter their temperature.”

“So you’re saying that just by changing an object’s temperature, we can send it from here to say, the state of Nebraska or Texas? That’s pretty cool!” Mark jumped up from the couch and headed for the kitchen. He wanted to heat some ice and see if his cousins in Nebraska would get it.

“No, no, no! That’s not what I meant by state. I mean states of being,” their dad clarified. “I’m talking about the three states of matter --- solids, liquids, and gases. Oxygen in the air we breathe is a gas. Ice is solid. This apple juice I’m drinking is a liquid.”

76

Copying is strictly prohibited by law.

| Educational Bootcamp

SC.3.P.8.1 Mark sat back down in bewilderment. “Oh, so you don’t mean one of the fifty states in the United States of America? You mean like, when the ice melts, it changes from the solid state to the liquid state, which is just water --- am I on the right track?”

“Absolutely!” his dad smiled. “And if you heat that same water, then it will turn to steam which is a gas.”

“So when I left my chocolate in Mom’s car, it was a solid, but because the car was so hot, it melted into liquid chocolate,” Marie analyzed. “But to think of it, that wasn’t really my fault. I didn’t heat the car; the sun did that all on its own. I think Mom owes me an apology!” Marie crossed her arms.

“Yes and no,” their dad said. “Yes, the sun did heat up the car, and you had no control over that. But, no, your mother does not owe you an apology. You and your brother have a bad habit of leaving snacks and crumbs in the car, which can attract bugs and fowl smells. That’s exactly why I don’t let you all eat in my car,” Dad said matter-offactly.

Marie didn’t like that answer, and she disagreed with her dad, but she knew better than to argue with her dad. She often pushed her luck with her mom, but she was much more careful controlling her attitude with her dad.

“But since we’re on the topic of chocolate, let’s see how hot it had to have been in that car for that chocolate bar to have melted,” their Dad led them into the kitchen.

Their dad placed a small bar of chocolate in the top half of a double boiler pot that was sat carefully on one of the stove’s burners. He turned the heat on under the pot and placed a kitchen thermometer into the pot to monitor the melting temperature. When the chocolate was a creamy liquid, the thermometer registered at 45° Celsius.

“So, what have you learned from this experiment?” their dad questioned.

“Chocolate melts at nearly 45° Celsius, so that car must have been pretty hot,” Mark said.

“Never leave your chocolate on the seat of Mom’s car when it’s hot outdoors!”

Marie smiled at her dad.

“You’re both correct!” Dad agreed. “Now, let’s get some ice cream and make a few chocolate sundaes with whipped cream on top.”

“Yummy!” Mark and Marie squealed with delight.

Making the Science Connection

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Common materials such as water, metal, and glass can be changed from one state of matter to the next by raising or lowering the temperature. Temperature changes affect how the molecules and atoms of a substance move around.

Solids have a definite shape and definite volume. The molecules of a solid are tightly compacted and do not move around very much. A solid can be changed into a liquid by heating the substance until it reaches its melting point. Ice is water in the solid state of matter. Water’s melting point is 0 degrees Celsius.

Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. The molecules in a liquid are not as close together as those in a solid and can move freely. A liquid takes the shape of whatever container it is placed in. A puddle of water is in a liquid state. A liquid is changed into a solid by cooling the substance until it reaches its freezing point. The freezing point of a substance is the same as its melting point.

Temperature is the measure of heat energy within a substance. The thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature. The metric unit for temperature is degrees Celsius. Common materials such as water, metal, and glass can be changed from one state of matter to the next by raising or lowering the temperature. Temperature changes affect how the molecules and atoms of a substance move around. A liquid is changed into a gas by heating the substance until it reaches its boiling point. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. A liquid is changed to a solid by cooling the substance until it reaches its freezing point. The freezing point of water is 0 °C.

Flat Tire

Sarah was on her way home from visiting her grandmother in the hospital.

She was driving down a dark, curvy road. Suddenly, Sarah heard her tire pop. “Oh no!” she screamed as she pulled over to the side of the road.

Sarah looked for her cell phone. Then, she called her friend Miguel and waited for him to arrive.

When Miguel got to where Sarah was, he told her he had to change the tire. He pulled out an instrument from the back of his truck. Sarah had never seen it before.

“This is a jack,” said Miguel. He explained that it was a type of lever, which is a simple machine used to decrease the amount of force needed to lift an object.

Miguel placed the jack under the car. He then started pulling down on the handle. It raised the car. Then Miguel easily replaced the tire. Sarah gave him a big hug for fixing her tire.

“You are my hero!” she said as she drove off.

Structures in Plants

BE FAIR TO PLANTS

Trish and Raylene are sisters who live in a small but well-kept house near Nashville, Tennessee. Trish is ten, and Raylene is almost three years older than Trish. One day their mother asked them to put in a half-hour of yard work. Trish decided to rake up the fallen leaves while Raylene chose to pull up the weeds and dead plants and flowers in the backyard garden.

As Trish raked near where Raylene was working, she saw her older sister pull up a dying plant that still had two green leaves left on it. “You killed it!” she complained.

“It was just about dead anyway,” Raylene said. “Maybe you want to hold a funeral?”

“Don’t make fun of me! Plants are people too!” Trish protested.

“No, they’re not,” Raylene argued.

“Plants eat and sleep just like people!”

“Did you ever hear one snoring?” laughed Raylene.

“Perennial plants sleep during the winter and wake up again in the spring. And they do too eat – they just don’t do it the same way we do,” Trish argued. “Plants have organs, too, just like human beings.”

“Yeah right—a liver and a pair of kidneys? A heart and lungs?” teased Raylene.

“No! A plant’s organs are its roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and seeds. They may not be the same as our organs, but they’re still organs. The roots have two purposes. They anchor the plant in the soil, and they absorb water and nutrients. That’s how plants eat and drink.”

SC.3.L.14.1 “Do they remember to wipe their mouths afterward? Ohhh, I better get this poor old plant a napkin,” Raylene said, giving her sister a hard time.

“The leaves have the lead role in photosynthesis. They take in carbon dioxide that we exhale, and they release oxygen into the air for us to breathe in.”

“They breathe oxygen? Through their mouths or their noses?”

“Through their leaves, smarty pants! Stop making fun of me! Don’t you want to learn about how plants are like us?”

“If they are so much like us, why didn’t that plant run away when it saw me coming to pull it up?” Raylene asked.

“Plants respond to light, just like we do, and to heat, touch, and gravity, just like us.”

“I’m smarter than some withered up old plant!” Raylene protested.

That was too much for Trish. She went into the house and came back out five minutes later with a handmade sign she’d drawn on a poster board. Trish wrote in bright, bold colors, BE FAIR TO PLANTS! While Raylene continued her work, Trisha marched up and down the yard, waving her sign and chanting, “Be fair to plants! Be fair to plants!”

“I’m going to tell Mama you’re goofing off,” Raylene threatened.

“I’m not goofing off. I’m picketing. I’m defending the rights of our fellow sailors on the Good Ship Earth.”

“There you go getting all poetic again!” complained Raylene. “Less poetry and more raking or else.”

Trish didn’t want to get in trouble, so she picked up the rake and got back to work, but as she raked, she chanted, “Be fair to plants! Be fair to plants!”

Although Raylene would never admit it, she would give careful consideration before she unearthed another seemingly dead plant.

Making the Science Connection Plants organs are important in that they respond to various stimuli and are necessary for carrying out the process of photosynthesis.

The plant organs – roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and seeds are structural adaptations that help plants receive the essential things they need for survival and reproduction.

The roots are buried underground to anchor the plant in the soil. The primary role of the roots is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Water is a necessary by-product of photosynthesis and is necessary for the process to take place. Tree roots also take nutrients and chemicals out of the soil and use them to produce what they need for the tree’s growth, development, and repair.

The stems are the part of the plant that supports the leaves and flowers. The stem holds up the leaves so that they may receive the light energy necessary for photosynthesis.

The leaves are the main photosynthetic organ. The leaves take in carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaled by animals and release oxygen (O2) back into the environment. The carbon dioxide and oxygen gases are exchanged through pores found on the underside of the leaves.

These pores are called stomata. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast of the leaves. The chloroplast contains a pigment called chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll functions to give plants their green color and to trap energy from the sunlight.

Flowers and seeds are plant parts that are required to make new plants. Warm temperature is required for seeds to germinate and sprout. Flowers will not grow and reproduce if the temperature is not ideal. Plants may remain in dormancy if the warm temperature requirements are not met.
