Need-to-Know Vocabulary
1. PARTICLES - one of the extremely small parts that make up matter
2. ATOMS - the smallest part of an element that still has the same properties of the element
3. MOLECULES - the smallest particles of a compound that still has the properties of that compound
4. MASS - the amount of matter in a solid, liquid, or gas
5. VOLUME - the amount of space an object takes up
6. MATTER - anything that has mass and takes up space
7. COMPOUND - a type of matter made of two or more elements
8. ELEMENTS - the ingredients that make up all other substances, they can not be broken down into any other substance
9. PROTONS - an atomic particle with a positive charge, the number of protons determines the element
10. NEUTRONS - an atomic particle that has no charge
11. NUCLEUS - the center of an atom where the protons and neutrons are stored
12. ELECTRONS - an atomic particle with a negative charge; electrons circle the nucleus in an atom
13.CONDUCTORS - a substance, body, or device that readily moves heat, electricity, sound, etc.
14. EVAPORATION - the physical change that occurs when a liquid is heated and it becomes a gas (hot shower creates steamy mirror)
15. CONDENSATION - the physical change that occurs when a gas in
cooled and it returns to its liquid form (steam on a mirror begins to drip)
16. MIXTURE - a combination of materials that can be easily
separated, each material remains the same
17. SOLUTION - a combination of materials, one material usually
dissolves, or the materials completely combine and can not be
easily separated
18. PHYSICAL CHANGE - a change is some properties of matter without
forming a different kind of matter
19. CHEMICAL CHANGE - One or more types of matter change into other
types of matter with different properties

LESSON 1: WHAT MAKES UP MATTER? * MATTER is anything that has mass and takes up space * Everything that you see is matter - a compound of ELEMENTS * The smallest particle of a compound is called a MOLECULE * Elements are made up of tiny particles called ATOMS * There are over 100 elements, they have all been arranged on the Periodic Table of Elements LESSON 2: HOW CAN MATTER BE DESCRIBED? * Matter can be described by its physical properties * Physical properties can be observed, described, and measured * Physical Properties include - color, mass, volume, temperature, texture MASS - the amount of matter in a solid, liquid, or gas. Mass is measured using a balance in grams or kilograms VOLUME - the amount of space an object takes up LESSON 3: WHAT ARE SOLIDS, LIQUIDS, AND GASES? * Three phases of matter - Solid, Liquid, Gas 1. Solids - have a definite shape and a definite volume - solid particles are tightly compacted and have small vibrations - solids hold their shape at room temperature 2. Liquids - have a definite volume but no definite shape - liquid particles take on the shape of the container they are in - particles are loosely combined and move around 3. Gases - have no definite shape and no definite volume - gas particles are not combined at All and they move around freely * POINTS - Freezing, Melting, & Boiling 1. Freezing Point - when temperatures cool and a material changes from a liquid state to a solid state 2. Melting Point - when temperatures rise and a material changes from a solid state to a liquid state 3. Boiling Point - when temperature rise to the point of boiling and a material changes from a liquid state to a gas state * Condensation & Evaporation * Condensation - the physical change that occurs when a gas in cooled and it returns to its liquid form (steam on a mirror begins to drip) * Evaporation - the physical change that occurs when a liquid is heated and it becomes a gas (hot shower creates steamy mirror) Super Scientific Resources |
WEEK 2 - August 25th - 29th
LESSON 4: WHAT ARE MIXTURES AND SOLUTIONS? * Mixtures - a combination of materials that can be easily separated, each material remains the same Ex. salad, trail mix, sand * Solution - a combination of materials, one material usually dissolves, or the materials completely combine and can not be easily separated Ex. salt water, smoothie, * Solute - the material that dissolves in a solution Ex. the sugar in sugar water * Solvent - the material (liquid) that causes the solute to dissolve Ex. the water in sugar water * Solubility - the amount of material that can dissolve in a given amount of liquid LESSON 5: HOW DOES MATTER CHANGE? * PHYSICAL CHANGE - a change is some properties of matter without forming a different kind of matter EX - cutting a piece of paper into smaller pieces, breaking glass * Temperature can affect the physical change of some materials EX - butter is easier to spread as it gets warmer * Melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation are all examples of physical changes * CHEMICAL CHANGE - one or more types of matter change into other types of matter with different properties * Often, a chemical change will happen even quicker if a higher temperature is applied |
