Quick Reminders

  Tomorrow will be our test on Physical and Chemical change. A study guide for this was sent home today, but if your child is absent or misplaced their guide I will have it linked below.

  The 3rd 9 weeks math study guide was sent home today. The test will be next week on Wednesday. We will be going over a review packet on Monday and Tuesday, so please help us to get all of the students prepared for these tests!

  The 3rd 9 weeks science study guide will be sent home tomorrow as we did not want it to get confused with the guide for tomorrow's test. The science 9 weeks test will be next Friday and will be reviewing on the days prior.

  Ms. Mason's and Ms. Smith's class will be opening the class store where students can buy prizes using their classroom behavior money. Donations would be greatly appreciated as the students have been working very hard to earn their money. Students may also earn some extra classroom bucks by donating these much needed classroom supplies: paper towels, Clorox wipes, and Expo Spray.

  Thank you and have a wonderful afternoon!!

Physical and Chemical Change

Changes everywhere!!

Physical Change- change to matter in which no new kind of matter is formed

• Examples:
• Origami (art of folding paper)
• Cutting Paper
• Ice Melting

• Mixture- a substance that  contains two or more different types of matter
• These types of matter CAN BE SEPARATED!! That is very important!
• Examples:
• Alphabet Soup
• Trail Mix
• Marbles and Beads in a bag
• Solution- a mixture in which the particles of the different kinds of matter mix together evenly.
• This is different from a regular mixture because you CANNOT SEPARATE the different kinds of matter BY HAND!!
• Examples:
• Salt Water
• Sweet Tea
• A Penny (this is a solution of two metals called an alloy. A penny is made of zinc and copper)

Chemical Change- change that forms a different kind of matter

• Examples:
• Cooking Food
• Rusting Nails
• Burning Wood
• What are some ways we use chemical changes in our lives?
• Burn fuel to power our cars.
• Cook food so we can eat it.
• Digestion
• FUN FACT: Plants use chemical changes to make their food!
