OBJECTIVES/ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
1. Describe the behavior of magnets
A magnet has a north pole and a south pole
Like magnetic poles repel each other; unlike poles attract each other
A magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field that exerts forces on other magnets
Some materials are magnetic because their atoms behave like magnets
2. Relate the behavior of magnets to magnetic fields
Magnetic fields can produce electrical current in conductors
Electricity can produce a magnetic field and cause iron and steel objects to act like
magnets
A magnetic force is exerted through a magnetic field
A moving electric charge such a moving electron creates a magnetic field
Magnetic fields surround all magnets
Magnetic field lines begin at the magnet’s North Pole and end on the South Pole
Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field similar to the field around a bar magnet
Earth’s magnetic poles move slowly, and sometimes change places
Earth’s magnetic poles are now close to Earth’s geographic poles
3. Explain why some materials are magnetic
Only certain materials such as iron can be made into magnets that are surrounded by a
magnetic field
4. Describe how the magnetic field of an electromagnet depends on the current and number of
coils
Electromagnets are temporary magnets that lose their magnetism when the electric
current is removed
An electromagnet is made by wrapping a current-carrying wire around an iron core
To produce electric current, the wire is fashioned into a loop and a power source
provides the kinetic energy to spin the wire loop
The magnetic field of an electromagnet is turned on or off when the electric current is
turned on or off
5. Explain how motion can produce electricity
In an electric motor, a magnetic field turns electricity into motion
A generator uses a magnetic field to turn motion into electricity
6. Describe how motors, generators and transformers function
An electric motor transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy
An electric motor rotates when current flows through the wire loop that is surrounded by
a magnetic field
A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
Most of the electrical energy we use comes from generators
Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy that is used to do
work
A transformer changes the voltage of an alternating current

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:

What are some examples of physical properties?
When does a physical change occur?
What are some examples of chemical properties?

POCONO MOUNTAIN SCHOOL DISTRICT

How can shape and volume be used to classify materials?
What are the states of matter?
How can kinetic theory and forces of attraction be used to explain the behavior of solids,
liquids and gases?
What are six common phase changes?
UNIT OBJECTIVES/ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
1. Describe how matter is classified
Every sample of a given substance has the same properties because a substance has a
fixed, uniform composition
An element has a fixed composition because it contains only one type of atom
A compound always contains two or more elements joined in a fixed proportion
The properties of a mixture can vary because the composition of a mixture is not fixed
Based on the size of its largest particles a mixture can be classified as a solution , a
suspension, or a colloid
2. Provide examples of physical properties and identify substances based on their physical
properties
Viscosity, conductivity, malleability, hardness, melting point, boiling point, and density
are examples of physical properties
Physical properties are used to identify a material, to choose a material for a specific
purpose, or to separate the substances in a mixture
Filtration and distillation are common separation methods
3. Describe chemical properties of matter and clues that indicate a chemical change is taking
place. Distinguish chemical changes from physical changes
Chemical properties can be observed only when the substances in a sample of matter
are changing into different substances
Three common types of evidence for a chemical change are a change in color, the
production of a gas, and the formation of a precipitate
When matter undergoes a chemical change, the composition of the matter changes.
When matter undergoes a physical change, the composition of the matter remains the
same.
4. Describe 5 the states of matter and classify materials as solids, liquids, or gases
Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) are all different states
of matter.
Each of these states is also known as a phase.
Elements and compounds can move from one phase to another when specific physical
conditions are present
5. Explain the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids, using kinetic theory
The kinetic theory of matter states that all particles of matter are in constant motion
There are forces of attraction among the particles in all matter
The constant motion of particles in a gas allows a gas to fill a container of any shape or
size
A liquid takes the shape of its container because particles in a liquid can flow to new
locations
The volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles close
together
Solids have a definite volume and shape because particles in a solid vibrate around
fixed locations
6. Define gas pressure and identify factors that affect gas pressure
Collisions between particles of a gas and the walls of the container cause the pressure
in a closed container of gas
Factors that affect the pressure of an enclosed gas are its temperature, its volume, and
the number of its particles
7. Predict changes in gas pressure due to changes in temperature, volume and number of
particles
Raising the temperature of a gas will increase its pressure if the volume of the gas and
number of particles is constant
Reducing the volume of a gas increases its pressure if the temperature of the gas and
POCONO MOUNTAIN SCHOOL DISTRICT
Physical Science Unit 2 7/2014 cs 3
number of particles are constant
Increasing the number of particles will increase the pressure of a gas if the temperature
and the volume are constant
8. Describe phase changes and explain how temperature can be used to recognize a phase
change
Melting, freezing vaporization, condensation, sublimation, and deposition are six
common phase changes
The temperature of a substance does not change during a phase change
Energy is either absorbed or released during a phase change
9. Explain what happens to the motion, arrangement, and average kinetic energy of water
molecules during phase changes
The arrangement of molecules in water becomes less orderly as water melts, and more
orderly as water freezes
ACTIVITIES:
Describe the particle theory of matter
Describe how to determine whether a substance
is an element, compound, or mixture
Define compounds as inorganic or organic. (All
organic compounds contain carbon)
Describe what a salt is and explain how salts
form
Describe the properties of solids, liquids, gases,
