MATTER AND ENERGYTEKS 5.5A (R), 5.5B (S), 5.5C (S)


� All things are made of matter.

� Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

� You can describe the physical properties of matter like color, smell, taste, texture, and how it conducts heat or electricity.


� Taste?� Smell?� Texture?� Color?� Conducts Heat?� Conducts Electricity?


� Some materials will retain their physical properties even when mixed together.

� Consider a mixture of sand and iron filings. Does it retain its physical properties? Can you separate the mixture? How?


� Magnetism is also a physical property of metals like iron, steel, and nickel.

� A magnet can attract things like iron filings, paper clips, and staples, but not glass, plastic, wood, or rubber.


� Dissolving means to mix evenly in a liquid like water.

� What are some things that dissolve in water?� salt, sugar, etc.

� What are some things that don’t dissolve in water?� sand, metal filings, etc.


� Temperature measures how warm something is. The higher the temperature, the more the particles in matter move.

� In science, we primarily use the Celsius scale.

� Water freezes - 0˚C� Water boils - 100˚C


� Density is the amount of matter in a certain amount of space.

� If something has greater density than water, it will sink.

� An object with lesser density than water will float.


� Will a key sink or float? Does it have higher or lower density than water?

� How about a block of wood? Does it have higher or lower density than water?


More Heat Less Heat

No Definite Shape No Definite Shape Definite Shape

No Definite Volume Definite Volume Definite Volume

Freezing

Melting

Condensation

Evaporation


� If a material allows heat or electricity to easily pass through it, it is a conductor.

� If a material doesn’t allow heat or electricity to pass through it, it is an insulator.


Classify these items as conductors or insulators of heat and electricity.
