What is Physical Science (Lets do a warm-up, first!)
Physical Science is…. • The study of things around you. It deals with matter and energy
What is matter? • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. • Examples of matter: • Energy is different than matter • It cannot be held or measured with a ruler
Two areas of Physical Science • Chemistry: the study of matter and how it changes • Looks at how matter can be made into new materials • By studying Chemistry, scientists have made new food, clothing, medicines, fragrances, etc • There have been advances in medicine, too, like artificial skin and bones • Physics: the study of energy and how it acts with matter • Physics can explain how lasers work and why helium balloons float, to name a few • Physics has been used to develop TV, cell phones, stereos, computers, satellites, etc.
