Properties of Matter UnitWeek 31

Directions1.Prepare your desk for science.• Science notebook

2.Use voice level 0 (no voice) to….• Number notebook pages 71 to 90• Finish the magnifier paragraph from Friday

(notebook pg. 70)

If you need to, bring me your signed test

that was due on Friday!

Review Magnifiers Lesson

Target (from Friday):• Students will use magnifiers to see and

describe details and features of objects.

Review notebook pg. 70

Targets & Warm UpTargets:• Students will investigate and explain that not all

materials react the same way when an action is applied to them.

Warm Up: How can we identify matter?

We can identify matter in many ways…

ColorShape

TextureLengthWidthMass

Volume

• Use our senses to observe

• Measure using tools

Testing Matter

Simple tests can show other properties of matter to see how it reacts

Once you are finished with the Table of Contents, go to page 71 and add the title and date to the top of the page.

React

React: Act in response to something; respond in a particular way

How would you react to seeing this earthworm?

Testing Matter

Simple tests can show other properties of matter to see how it reacts–What happens if you heat or cool it?– Is it affected by a magnet?–Does it allow electricity to pass through it?–Does it break or bend?–Does it float or sink?–Does it mix with other matter?

How do materials react?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/scienceclips/ages/7_8/characteristics_materials.shtml

We will test the…

• Flexibility of matter• Buoyancy of matter• Solubility of matter• Magnetism of matter

Flexibility

The quality of bending easily without breaking

Flexibility Vocabulary

RigidFlexible

Buoyancy

The ability of something to float in water or other fluid

Buoyancy Vocabulary

Float Sink

Solubility

The ability of something to be dissolved

Dissolve: to disappear into something else

Solubility Vocabulary

Soluble(Able to be dissolved)

Insoluble(Unable to be dissolved)

Magnetism

The property of attraction of an object that has a magnetic field

Magnetism Vocabulary

Magnetic (Attracts)

Non-Magnetic (Repels)

Make a list of items for one property

• Flexibility– Flexible or rigid

• Buoyancy– Float or sink

• Solubility– Soluble or insoluble

• Magnetism– Magnetic or nonmagnetic

Reflection Question

• Are there any other actions that could be tested apart from the four that we’ve talked about today?– Flexibility– Buoyancy– Solubility– Magnetism

Targets (Revisited)

• Students will investigate and explain that not all materials react the same way when an action is applied to them.
