What are some physical properties of matter that we can observe ?
Matter is any substance which has mass and occupies space.
There are 3 different states of matter
  1. Solid
  2. Liquid
  3. Gas
Some physical properties are
  • Appearance
  • Texture
  • Color
  • Smell
  • Density
  • Solubility

(1) Matter can float or sink in water this is called buoyancy.
(2) If you stirred salt into water it will dissolve because it is soluble, but if you stirred iron fillings in water in water you can still see the iron fillings from the water that is because the iron filling isn't soluble
(3) Iron fillings are attracted to magnets this is magnetism

Water is transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless
If you added food coloring to water it would change the color but not the taste.]]> 2018-05-15 00:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/365426/22uql2a9pitd/wish/260671283 Properties of Water 365426 https://padlet.com/365426/22uql2a9pitd/wish/260672433 At what temperatures on Celsius scale will water freeze or boil? At what temperature will ice melt?
Water would be freezing at 0 °C 
Water would be boiling at 100°C
Water would be melting at 0 °C because the heat is rising up then when it reaches 0 °C it starts to melt]]> 2018-05-15 00:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/365426/22uql2a9pitd/wish/260672433 Properties of Water 365426 https://padlet.com/365426/22uql2a9pitd/wish/260673429 Which tool can we use to measure different temperature?

To differentiate a climate is over a big area over a long period of time, weather is over a small area over a short period of time.]]> 2018-05-15 03:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/365426/22uql2a9pitd/wish/260698993 Patterns on Earth 365426 https://padlet.com/365426/22uql2a9pitd/wish/260700289 How do shadows change during the seasons?
The Earth spins on an axis and also orbits round the Sun.........The Earth on the axis produces night and day as it spins away from the sun for about 12 hours. As the Earth orbits it get nearer and closer to the sun so producing seasons and temperature.

Earth spins once every 24 hours. So a given location on Earth will pass “through” both bulges of water each day. Of course, the bulges don’t stay fixed in time. They move at the slow rate of about 13.1 degrees per day – the same rate as the monthly motion of the moon relative to the stars.

To describe an plant grows using the energy from the sun, then an animal eats the plats and gains it energy, when that animal dies the decomposers eat their remains they get its energy

An adaptation is a special skill which helps an animal to survive and do everything it needs to do. Adaptations could be physical changes to the animals body or behavior changes in how an individual animal or a society do things in their daily lives.
