Presentation Transcript

  1. Matter • Anything that has mass and takes up space.

  2. Mass • How much matter is in an object.

  3. Volume • How much space an object takes up.

  4. What is an element? • An element is a pure substance made of a single kind of atom. Examples of elements are gold, silver, copper, oxygen, and carbon. (You can’t see oxygen….)

  5. Chemical Symbolsrepresent ELEMENTS • Oxygen – O • Hydrogen- H • Carbon – C • Nitrogen – N • Calcium – Ca • Silicon – Si • Iron - Fe

  6. Compounds • More than one element combined such as • H20 (water) • CO2 (carbon dioxide)

  7. LITHOSPHERE- The solid part of Earth. It contains rocks and minerals. Oxygen and silicon are the most abundant elements in this sphere. Litho = rock

  8. Biosphere • Contains Earth’s living matter. All plants and animals are part of the biosphere. Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus are the most abundant elements in living things. • Bio = Life

  9. Hydrosphere • All of the water on Earth is part of the hydrosphere. The main component of the hydrosphere, the oceans, makes up more than 70% of Earth’s surface. The most common elements in the hydrosphere are oxygen and hydrogen because these two elements make up water or H2O. • Hydro = water

  10. Atmosphere • The atmosphere includes the air that surround Earth. Weather happens in the atmosphere. The most abundant gases in the air are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. • Atmos = air

  11. Inference • An explanation based on observation and experience. If a statement contains the word “like”, it is an inference! • The kids are running around like a bunch of chickens! (Inference) • The kids are running across the playground. (observation)

  12. Types of DATA (observations) Quantitative Examples Qualitative Examples • Use your senses! seven • Colors!!!!! • SMELLs!!!! • TEXTURE!!! (rough, smooth…) • Taste (strong, sour…) • Sounds 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 NUMBERS Charts and Graphs
