Sublimation and Evaporation
Students will examine the unique processes of sublimation (solid to gas) and evaporation, distinguishing them from boiling and other phase changes.
Key Questions
- Justify why certain substances sublime directly from solid to gas.
- Differentiate between evaporation and boiling based on temperature and energy requirements.
- Predict the factors that influence the rate of evaporation.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerThematic Unit
Organize a multi-week unit around a central theme or essential question that cuts across topics, texts, and disciplines, helping students see connections and build deeper understanding.
rubricSingle-Point Rubric
Build a single-point rubric that defines only the "meets standard" level, leaving space for teachers to document what exceeded and what fell short. Simple to create, easy for students to understand.
