1. Write the questions and answers on a loose-leaf sheet of paper to be turned in at the end of the unit
Science Starter
You have probably heard of “matter” before. Do your best to write your OWN definition.
Do solids have a DEFINITE shape? Do they have a DEFINITE volume?
Do liquids have a DEFINITE shape? Do they have a DEFINITE volume?
Do gases have a DEFINITE shape? Do they have a DEFINITE volume?

5. Data Tracking & Diagnostic
Why do we track data on our tests?
Listen to me read out the answers, mark each question right with a check and wrong with an X
You will count the check to see which ones you had correct
Grade your own paper or a partners with a different color pen!

7. Taking Notes January 28, 2016 Unit 1: Chemistry Matters
Intro to Matter

8. What is Chemistry?
Chemistry: the study of the composition of matter and the changes that matter undergoes
Matter: anything that has mass and occupies space

9. What is MATTER? Matter: Anything that has mass and volume.
Mass: How much “stuff” there is, in chemistry we will think of it like the weight
Weight is actually the mass + gravity. So, on the moon, your mass would stay the same but you would weigh less!
If you weighed 150lbs on earth, you would weigh 25lbs on the moon but your mass would be the same.
Volume: The amount of space that something takes up.
Discuss difference between mass and weight – mass does not change on the moon because it does NOT depend on gravity.

10. What is MATTER? Is it matter? Why or why not? Grass Chalk Light Heat
Gel
Ideas
Air

11. DO NOT ANSWER ABOUT PARTICLES UNTIL AFTER VIDEO!

12. Exploration Demonstration
We will use syringes and beakers to understand the differences between solids, liquids, and gases.
I will quickly run through all of these things as you work on filling in your chart. If you have any questions or need to see anything again, just raise your hand.
Demonstrate the use of syringes.

14. Video: Eureka - States of Matter
You will fill in the bottom 2 rows of your chart using the video’s information!

15. States of Matter Solid: definite shape and volume
Liquid: indefinite shape but fixed volume
Takes the shape of the container
Gas: indefinite shape and indefinite volume.
Takes the shape and volume of its container.

16. Particle Diagrams
SOLID
LIQUID
GAS

17. Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
States of matter can change between one another. These changes have special names, most of which you are already familiar with!

18. States of Matter
Solidification can also be referred to as “freezing”
