What SHOULD I have learned this year?. Force and Motion. Identify or calculate an object’s average speed S = d/t Practice: A battery-powered toy car travels 20 meters in 5 seconds. What is it’s average speed? S = 20m/5s = 4 m/s. Speed is the slope of a distance/time graph. Remember this?.

Force and Motion Identify or calculate an object’s average speed S = d/t Practice: A battery-powered toy car travels 20 meters in 5 seconds. What is it’s average speed? S = 20m/5s = 4 m/s. Speed is the slope of a distance/time graph
Position vs. Time Graphs • Describe the motion of an object based on a graph of the object’s position vs. time. • Identify the position vs. time graph that could represent an object’s motion given average speed or position and time data of that object.
Friction • Friction is a force that can help objects start moving, stop moving, slow down, or change direction.
Frictional Forces • Describe the frictional forces acting on a given object.
Identify the forces acting on an object as balanced or unbalanced given a description of the motion of the object • Speeding up? • Slowing down? • Changing direction? • Unchanging? = Unbalanced = Unbalanced = Unbalanced = Balanced
Motion of Objects Predict the resulting motion of an object given a description of the initial motion of the object and the forces acting on the object.
Unbalanced Forces • Compare the motion of objects with different masses that receive the same unbalanced force.
Properties of Matter • Identify characteristic intrinsic properties of a substance (i.e., properties that are independent of the amount of a substance) • Density • Solubility • boiling point • melting point Examples: 1) Water’s density = 1.0 g/ml, Vegetable oil = 0.7 g/ml 2) Iron is magnetic 3) Copper and gold are conductors of electricity 4) Water melts/freezes at 0⁰C 5) Water boils/condenses at 100⁰C
Physical Properties Density State of Matter
Mixtures and Compounds Mixtures Compounds Compounds are more than one element combined together in a molecule H20 NaCl CO2 • Mixtures are more than one substance combined together • Trail mix • Salad
Mixtures • Describe how to separate a given mixture using differences in properties • Density • Solubility • phase change temperature differences • Size • magnetic attraction
Compounds • Describe that the chemical and physical properties of a compound are different from those of the reactants from which the compound was formed. + = sodium http://www.freewebs.com/lindsey_ec/theusesofsodium.htm http://easycalculation.com/chemistry/elements/test.php?name=chlorine Salt
Atoms • Identify that all matter is made of atoms. • Identify the relationship between atoms and elements • matter made of only one kind of atom is called an element
Kinetic Energy of Particles Solids have slowly-moving atoms packed tightly together definite shape, definite volume Liquids have more freely-moving atoms no definite shape, definite volume Gases have very fast-moving atoms no definite shape, no definite volume Heat energy transfers into kinetic energy of particles. (ex: Boiling Water)
Describe or predict changes in mass of systems undergoing physical and/or chemical changes • Physical Change: a change that occurs where there is still the same substance • Ripping paper • Cutting hair • Phase changes • Chemical Change: a change occurs where a new substance is formed • Burning • Rust • baking
Conservation of Mass • Apply the concept of conservation of mass to account for the mass before and after a physical or chemical change in open and/or closed systems (e.g., water boiling, vinegar reacting with baking soda to produce a gas). • The mass in a closed system stays the same even AFTER a chemical or physical change. Example: Burning 5g of paper in a closed jar won’t gain or lose mass, it will just be 5g of something else (smoke, ashes, etc.)
Energy Forms and Transformations • List forms of energy in a given system • Light • thermal (heat) • Chemical • Electrical • Kinetic • sound
Energy Transfers and Transformations • Describe how energy is transformed from one form to another and/or how energy is transferred from one place to another in a given system. • Energy Transformation: light energy from the sun transforms into chemical energy in a plant’s leaves • Energy transfer: heat energy from a burner is transferred into heat energy in a frying pan
Layers of the Earth • Compare the relative positions, thicknesses, consistencies, and/or temperatures of Earth’s crust, core, and/or mantle. http://edu.glogster.com/media/2/7/83/4/7830440.jpg
Plate Tectonics Convection in the upper mantle causes crustal plate movement. Convection is a heat transfer where hot matter rises and cooler matter sinks.
Plate Tectonics • Describe what may happen where plate boundaries meet (i.e., earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, faults, mountain building). http://www.bcscience.com/bc10/images/0_quiz-12.2-03.jpg
Light • Describe that light from the Sun is made up of a mixture of all colors of light. • Identify evidence that light from the Sun (i.e., white light) is made up of a mixture of all colors of light. http://apollo.lsc.vsc.edu/classes/met130/notes/chapter19/color.html http://effieboo.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/what-i-learned-in-chemistry/electromagnetic-spectrum/

Light and Sound • Compare characteristics of light and sound waves (e.g., light waves can travel through a vacuum while sound waves cannot). http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/media/3536/Graphic-representations-of-a-sound-wave http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/01/sound-waves.html
Wave Speed • Describe that waves move at different speeds in different materials (e.g., sound travels more quickly through water than through air). Sound wave http://learn.uci.edu/oo/getOCWPage.php?course=OC0811004&lesson=005&topic=003&page=14
