The key concept for this two-page doodle note is to identify the postulates of the KMT for each state of matter. Then, to apply those ideas to the basic properties of each state of matter. We want students to understand that the Kinetic-Molecular Theory is based on the assumption that all particles of matter are in constant motion. And, that the KMT describes the particle motion, arrangement, and attractive forces for each state of matter.
The second page gets into specific properties of the states of matter and how they relate to the KMT.
Students will gain so much value from these doodle notes that they will be proud of and use! The included teacher notes suggest many ways of incorporating doodle notes in your class, and includes an example suggestion for completing the doodle notes. For interactive notebooks—just print at 90%, and it will fit beautifully!
Chemistry Doodle Notes! Doodling while learning forms a connection between left brain and right brain communication and enhances learning. “Cross-brain” learning has many benefits for the student—most importantly, the activity of doodling will give your students a kinesthetic connection to core concepts.
Two versions for the notes are included along with a suggested key.
Version 1: these are blank notes that leave you lots of room to add your own notes.
Version 2: Cloze Notes with suggested key.
Choose the version best for you and your students, or use both versions depending on your classes and students.
