[8 questions on STAAR]

• Matter has measurable physical properties.

• Those properties determine how matter is classified,

changed, and used.

Matter and Energy Main Idea

Matter and Energy***Readiness Standard***

• Classify - matter based on physical properties, including mass, magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid, and gas), relative density (sinking and floating), solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electric energy

Mass

Definition: The amount (how much)

matter is in an object

Measured using a balance (triple

beam balance/pan balance)

Measured in metric units of “grams”, “kilograms”, and

“milligrams”

Magnetism• Definition: A force that causes some objects to be

attracted (pulled to) or repelled (pushed away) by a magnet.

• Test for magnetism by touching a magnet to the item.

• Some metals are magnetic. Some metals are not.Magnetic Metals Non-Magnetic Metals

Iron Aluminum

Steel Copper

Cobalt Brass

Physical State

•Definite shape and volume.

•The particles are close together and vibrate in place.

Solid

• Definite volume, but no definite shape (takes shape of container).

• The particles are spread out slightly but can still flow past each other.

Liquid • No definite volume or shape.

• Particles spread out to fill an area and move freely.

Gas

Models of Solid, Liquid, and Gas States of Matter

Relative Density• Density is the amount of mass that is in a certain volume

of material.

• Relative density is the comparison of the densities of items, whether one thing is more dense, less dense, or equal density to another item.

• If an item is put in water and it sinks the items density is greater than the water’s density.

• If an item is put in water and it floats the items density is less than the water’s density.

Solubility in Water• Solubility is the ability of a material to dissolve in

another material (such as water)

• A solute is the substance that is being dissolved.

• A solvent is the substance in which the solute is being dissolved.

• A mixture of a solute and a solvent is known as a solution.

Ability to Conduct or Insulate (Thermal Energy or Electrical Energy)

• Conductor Definition: The ability to carry thermal (heat) and electrical energy

• Insulator Definition: The ability to block or hold back thermal and electrical energy

***If a material is a good conductor it will usually be a poor insulator.

If a material is a good insulator it will usually be a poor conductor.

Good Conductors Good Insulators

Metals Plastic

Graphite Glass

Rubber

Cloth

Sample Question

Never put anything made of metal into an

appliance that is plugged up. Metal will conduct the electricity and give

you a shock.

Sample Questions

B shows that oil is less dense than water so it will sit on top of water and not mix with it. Cork is less dense than the oil so the cork will float on the oil. Cork is therefore BOUYANT when it is added to oil or water.

Sample Questions

Pure water will begin to boil at 100 degrees Celsius. The volume (amount of ) water does not affect the temperature that the water will begin boiling (or melting, or freezing) .

Matter and Energy

• Demonstrate - that some mixtures maintain physical properties of their ingredients such as iron filings and sand

Mixtures• Mixture: When two or more materials are combined

together.

• Basic mixtures have materials that do not change physical properties (they maintain their physical properties) so they are relatively easy to separate.

• To separate mixtures, find a physical property that the items do NOT have in common and use

that as the means to separate. (such as one is magnetic and the other

is not)

Methods to separate Mixtures

– 1. Funnel with Coffee Filter: separate liquids from solids– 2. Sieve/Screen: separate items out by size, smaller items

fall through– 3. Magnet: separates magnetic items from

non- magnetic items– 4. Tweezers or forceps: Separates larger items from

smaller by picking them up

5. Hot plate/Heat source: Separates solutes from solvents

in solutions by evaporating the liquid (solvent) and

leaving crystals of the solute behind

Sample Questions

Toothpicks are made of a wood that is less dense than water, so they will float on the surface of water. Glass marbles are made of a heavy glass that is more dense than water, so the glass marbles will sink to the bottom of the container of water. This makes it easy to separate the two when water is added.

Nope! This will make them stick together!

Nope! Neither item is magnetic!

Nope! They will still be together because neither can pass through the paper.

Matter and Energy

• Identify - changes that can occur in the physical properties of the ingredients of solutions such as dissolving salt in water or adding lemon juice to water

Solutions

• Solutions are special mixtures in which one material “dissolves” into another material.

• The material that dissolves is the “solute”

• The material that it dissolves into is the “solvent”

How a Solution is made

• When an material, like salt, dissolves into a material, like water, it makes a solution.

• The salt crystals break down into smaller and smaller pieces until they are so small that they can no longer be seen. They then spread evenly throughout the solvent.

[10 questions on STAAR]

Energy, Force, and MotionMain Idea

• Energy occurs in many forms and can be

observed in cycles, patterns, and systems.

• Forces cause change

Energy, Force, and Motion***Readiness Standard***

• Explore - the uses of energy, including mechanical, light, thermal, electrical, and sound energy

Mechanical Energy• The energy to move something• Used to put things in motion / move objects

Mechanical

Energy

Potential Energy

Stored or resting energy

The object has the potential to move or to do work, but it is not

Kinetic EnergyEnergy in Motion

The energy to make things move or to do

work

Light Energy• Produces light. Travels in waves.

• A light source is anything that can make it’s own light.

• Used to help us to see things

• Also used to provide the energy for plants to make their own food

Thermal Energy

• Thermal means “heat”

• Transfers heat – Heat always moves from areas of hot to areas of cold.

• Used to heat things up or cool things down – Increasing or adding heat will make things warmer– Decreasing or losing heat will make things colder

Electrical Energy

• The movement of electrons from an atom• Will move in a circuit (a circular path)

• Used to make electricity – Electricity powers many things

• Electrical energy can be transferred into other types of energy, such as light, sound, and heat.

Sound Energy

• The energy to create sounds.

• Sound is caused by vibrations. Vibrations travel to the ears through the air in waves.

• Used to create sounds

Energy, Force, and Motion***Readiness Standard***

• Demonstrate - that the flow of electricity in circuits requires a complete path through which an electric current can pass and can produce light, heat, and sound.

Electric CircuitsA circuit is a closed path that allows energy to flow

from an back to a source of electricity and to give power to another object.

All electric circuits must have three things in order to work:1) A source of energy (battery, generator, etc.)

2) A conductor (wires)

3) Something to use the electricity (light bulb, PSP, buzzer, heater, fan, tv, etc.)

HOW ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED TO PRODUCE OTHER TYPES OF

ENERGY IN FLASHLIGHTS

Batteries have stored energy from chemicals mixing together. The

chemical energy produces electrical energy. The electrical energy

produces light energy. The light energy produces heat energy.

Sample Question

Energy, Force, and Motion***Readiness Standard***

• Demonstrate - that light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object or travels through one medium to another and that light can be reflected such as the use of mirrors or other shiny surfaces and refracted such as the appearance of an object when observed through water

Reflected Light• Reflected means “bounced”.

• Reflected light bounces off a shiny surface and returns back at the same speed and angle that the light hit the object with.

• The shinier and smoother an object is, the better it will reflect light.

Refracted Light• Anytime light passes through something

transparent (clear) and slows down,

it will be refracted.– Glass– Water– Oil

• Refracted means bending, or slowing down, of the light, which makes an object appear to be at a different spot and larger or smaller than it really is

Refracted Light• This is caused because the light does not travel

as fast through the new material (medium) and it will make the object appear larger or smaller than it really is.

Click on the lens picture for a model of how light refracts through glass lenses

There are two types of lensesConcave – caves in or scopes in at the middleConvex – thicker in the middle than on the edges

Refracted Light• When light passes through a prism it bends the

white light, making it to separate out into the colors that make up white light.

• This creates a rainbow.

• Colors will always split out in the same order: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet

Refracted light creates rainbows

• A rainbow is created when light passes through water droplets in the sky. The water acts like a prism, bending the light and causing it to split out into the rainbow colors.

Sample Questions

Refraction will cause the light to “bend” when it passes through the lens

Light must pass through the lens to be refracted.

The light stops at the lens and is not reflected or refracted. The model needs dotted lines to show angle of refraction or reflection.

The light did not “bend” as it passed through the lens, therefore, it was NOT refracted

Energy, Force, and Motion

• Design - an experiment that tests the effect of force on an object

• Demonstrate and Observe - how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects to show work being done such as swings, balls, pulleys, and wagons

• Force: Anything that exerts a push or pull on something else

• Forces can start things moving or can stop the motion. Forces can also change the direction something is moving in.

Sample Questions

You should repeat the experiment at least three times in identical setups to the first trial. The key words here was “same floor: and “repeated” trials.
