This is HL 4. Do both on the same sheet.


This is HL 5. Do on a separate sheet.

Students will be able to:
use information from videos from the internet, supplementary texts, and classroom discussions to
-interpret from everyday examples the states of matter and explain how energy is added or released to change state (i.e. lake, cooking, glacier, snow, clouds or steam) .
-recognize that adding heat to or removing heat from a system may result in a temperature change and possibly a change of state
-describe and illustrate what will happen to the heat and kinetic energies within a glass of ice water if left out in a room vs. being left in a freezer and/or the refrigerator.

The do now was to complete the table on Properties of Matter:

State----Definite Mass----Definite Volume----Definite Shape----Physical Properties----Chemical Properties
Solid
Liquid
Gas

They then received home learnings 4 and 5, which can be found at the top of this blog. While HL 4 and HL 5 should be done on separate sheets of loose leaf notebook paper, be sure that BOTH pages for HL 4 are on the SAME sheet.

Students watched a BrainPop on measuring matter and then discussed the following terms:

Matter-anything that has mass and takes up space.

Mass-the amount of matter in an object.

Volume-the amount of space an object occupies.

Physical properties-properties of matter that are observable and measurable, such as mass, volume, density, color, size, shape, state.

Chemical Properties-those properties that can only be identified if the material is changed chemically, such as a match by burning.

Students also received the remainder of the pages for the interactive notebook. Because the pages are so numerous, they will be posted on a separate day (Saturday, 11 September, 2010). If you loose them, you can check that date to print out new ones. I will stay after school this Thursday to help anyone needing help assembling their notebook.
