5 Paragraph Essay Topic: How does the Kinetic Molecular Theory explain the three common states of matter we find on Earth (solids, liquids, and gases)
What to do:
Introduction Paragraph - Introduce and describe the Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
1st Body Paragraph - What defines a solid? Explain the solid state in terms of KMT and give at least one example.
2nd Body Paragraph - What defines a liquid? Explain the liquid state in terms of KMT and give at least one example.
3rd Body Paragraph - What defines a gas? Explain the gas state in terms of KMT and give at least one example.
Final Paragraph - conclude by answering the essay topic question
Use the Chapter 1 Lesson 1 Student Reading, Chapter 1 Lab 1 handout, and your class notes as resources
