I can define matter and the three main states it exists in.

What kinds of properties are used to describe

matter?

I can define and describe the physical properties of

matter.

I can determine and define the two types of mixtures.

What are elements and compounds, and how do

they both relate to matter?

What are the properties of a mixture?

I can calculate the % concentration of a solution and

define a solute, solvent, and solution.

How can matter be measured?

How does matter change?

I can define solubility.

PHYSICAL CHANGE:

END

Define PHYSICAL CHANGE based on your observations with the rubber band,
paper, and toothpick. What did you do to the material? What change if any, did
you osberve? Is it a new type of material?
Physical change is a change where the object does not change. The objct is still the
same object.
CHEMICAL CHANGE:

Define CHEMICAL CHANGE based on your observations. Ask yourself if any new
substances were formed? What do you think is the substance found at the
bottom of the test tube? Its not baking soda anymore!!
a chemical change is a change that causes a new substance to be formed. The
new substance at the bottom of the tube was carbon dioxide.

SUSPENSION:

Did the drops of oil mix with the water or were they suspended at the surface?
This mixture (water and oil) is considered a suspension. What is suspended
(found above) in this mixture? _the oil is suspended above the water and they
did not mix._________
SOLUTE/SOLVENT/SOLUTION:

List three more examples of solutions that could be made.

Include what item is the solute, what item is the solvent, and
what do we call the solution that was made.
Solution - The mixture of the solvent and the solute
Solute - The miz or liquid that is dozzolved in the solvent
Solvent - the liquid that breaks down the solute to form the solution
1. (SOLUTION) saltwater - salt(SOLUTE) water(SOLVENT)
2. (SOLUTION) hot chocolate - chocolate mixture(SOLUTE) milk (SOLVENT)
3. (SOLUTION) lemonade - lemon powder (SOLUTE) water (SOLVENT)

WHAT IS A MIXTURE?

CONSERVATION OF MASS

SEPARATING A MIXTURE

Is using the filteration system a physical means of separating a mixture or does it

involve a chemical change? Where have you observed the use of filters in your
everyday life?
our water is filered everyday and separating a mixture is a physical
change because there is no knew mixture, the two mixtures are just
separated.

Water is a polar molecule (It has a positive electrical side and a negative side).
Vegetable Oil is an nonpolar molecular. Which substance has the highest
cohesion and why would this substance hold more drops on the surface of a
penny?

Water. It held more drops on the top because it clump together easier and
therfore held together for longer.
2. VISCOSITY = state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency, due to
internal friction.

Which test tube has the substance with the highest viscosity? Second highest
viscosity? Which substance flowed with ease; quickly?
Water flowed the easiest and fastest
The substance with the highest viscocity was the detergent. The oil had the next highest viscocity, then
the vinigar, and finally, the water. The is why the water flowed the easiest.

COLLOID Colloidal solutions (also called colloidal suspensions) contain little particles, ranging from one to
1,000 nanometers in diameter. (A nanometer is very smalla human hair is about 100,000
nanometers wide!) The particles in a colloid are evenly dispersed throughout a quantity of water.
These particles are so small that you can't see them with the naked eyeand when you look at
the colloidal solution it appears homogenous, or uniform. If you put it under a microscope,
however, it would look heterogeneous, or as if things had been mixed together.

NOTES

OBSERVATIONS

no new substance is
created

The paper, the

toothpick, and the
rubberband were the
same object. They
just looked different.

CHEMICAL CHANGE

a new substance is
created

the baking soda and

the vinegar creted
carbon dioxide

SUSPENSION

when two or more

substances are
seperated and one
subtance settles
above the other
substance.
(heterogeneous
mixture in which a
substance with a
lower density sits
atop another
substance with a
lower density)

The oil was

suspended above the
water because its
thicker.

Solution - The

Solute - The miz or

Concentrated - a
solution that is mixed
very well and has a
lot of the solute
Saturated - a
solution that is not

that there is still
some on the bottom.

mix otherwise all the
stuff (solute) will
clump at the bottom

WHAT IS A
MIXTURE?

Mixture - a
combination of
different substances
Substance - different
kinds of matter with
different properties
that dont change
Heterogeneous
mixture - a mixture
of different things

a mixture is a
solution, but a
solution is not a
mixture

CONSERVATION OF
MASS

First, the tablets

were solid, then they
dissolved in the
water and became a
liquid, and finally,
they created the gas
that filled up the
balloon. The weight
of the beaker was the
same before and
after the chemical
reaction, which
demonstrates the
Conservation of
Mass.

whether something
goes through a
physical or chemical
change, the mass of
the objects do not
change.

SEPARATING A
MIXTURE

Mixtures are
separated in our
everyday lives when
our water is filered
before we drink it all
the time.

separating a mixture
is a physical change
because there is no
knew mixture, the
two mixtures are just
separated.

AMORPHOUS &
CRYSTALLINE SOLID

Crystalline Solid =
ordered blocks built in a
set pattern
Amorphous Solid =
blocks built in a random
pattern

Crystalline Solid - the

ordered legos/ diamods
Amorphous Solid - the

The substance with the highest
