Essential question: What is matter?
Dwayne Thurmond: Matter is
everything around you. Matter takes up space. It has mass.
Danielle Spencer: There are
three groups of matter we learned about solids, liquids, and gases.
RT: In a solid the molecules
are close together like in a marching band. In a liquid they are
spread out more. In a gas the molecules are moving all around.
MS: We can classify matter,
or put it in groups, like things that are flexible and things that are
magnetic.
Essential question: What
are some changes in matter?
Patrick Sheppard: Watercan
turn into a gas if you boil it.
John Tyler Durr: When you
mix baking soda which is a liquid with vinegar which is a liquid, it produces
a gas. That is a chemical change
Marvin Wilson: Water can
freeze and turn into a solid.
KF: Solids don't change shape,
but liquids and gases do.
Essential question: How do
we describe change?
Emmalee McCurdy: An example
of a chemical change is when you burn something.
Samantha May: An example
of a physical change is when you cut something apart.
Leeann McGeorge: You can
separate salt from water by evaporating it.
Do,inique Wilson: Mixtures
can cause an explosions.
MD: Energy helps you move.
We learned about six kinds of energy...light, sound, heat, chemical, mechanical,
and electrical.
Essential question: What
are some patterns of change?
Logan Shaffer: Two pieces
of matter can not be in the same place at the same time.
NJ: Objects that are resting
stay resting, obejects that are moving stay moving...unless they are acted
on by a force.
Cameron Napier: When you
make a solid very hot, it turns into a liquid or gas. When you make
a liquid or gas very cold, it will turn into a solid.
Cory Williams: Energy makes
things move and change.
