Matter is anything that takes up space.  The 3 states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. What are some of the physical properties we can observe? It has many types of physical properties, they are color, shape, size,  and texture. Mass and magnetism can classify matter. Mass is how much matter is in an object and magnetism is the ability to be attracted to a magnet. An object can sink or float. Sinking means to be more dense than water and it will go to the bottom. Floating means to be less dense than water and it will stay on top. Some objects are soluble , which means to dissolve in a liquid, for example sugar and salt. Some objects conduct, which means to transfer heat or electricity. Others can insulate, which means to not let heat or electricity through.]]> 2018-05-02 22:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/257465252 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/257473799 Are all mixtures the same? Not all mixtures are the same because there could be different properties in the mixture, which makes them different. With different properties, it is easy to separate because of the color, size, shape, or texture. To demonstrate a mixture, pour different objects that could be separated from each other into one bowl and that's a mixture. What makes a solution a unique type of mixture? A solution is a unique type of mixture because it dissolves in water unlike a mixture.

What are some different forms of energy? The 5 types of energy are mechanical, light, sound, electrical, and thermal. How can we use these different forms of energy? Mechanical energy is energy of motion, for example, when you're riding a bike and your legs are moving, that's mechanical energy. Light energy is energy to help you see. It helps you see colors, it reflects and refracts light to help you see objects, like yourself in the mirror. Sound energy is energy that vibrates, so we can hear it, we hear and use sound energy all the time by talking. Electrical energy is energy is mostly used to power thing up to make things work. Thermal energy is basically heat energy, like the sun.]]> 2018-05-02 23:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/257474929 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/257476996 Circuits are  closed pathways that allow electricity to pass. How does electricity travel?  Electricity travels through the circuit from to negative terminal to the positive terminal. A current is the flow of electrons in the circuit. What other forms of energy can electricity be transformed into? The electricity from the circuit then transforms into, light, heat, or sound energy. What happens if some parts of the circuit are missing? If it was an open circuit, it would not work because it is not going to be a full pathway.]]> 2018-05-02 23:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/257476996 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/257484904 How does light energy travel? Light travels in straight lines. How can the path of light be changed? It’s only bends when something refracts it. An example of refraction is when light moves from air to water, and when you put an object in the water it seems bent. An example of a refractive object is a lens. A lens is an object put in glasses to help people see better. Light also changes when an object reflects it, the object has to be still and smooth, for example, a mirror. ]]> 2018-05-03 00:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/257484904 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/258235330 What is work? Work is the movement or change of an object. How can we cause an object to change or move from its position? We can push or pull an object an that is called force. Position is where something is. A push is to move an object away from you and a pull is to move an object closer to you. Force is a push or pull to move, stop, or change direction of an object.

Landforms can be formed by ice, wind, or water. They are not only natural because they are formed by forces. How can you describe and identify landforms like deltas, canyons, and sand dunes? You can recognize a landform by remembering its features and how it looks like. A delta is a triangle shaped landform at the mouth of a river into the ocean. A canyon is a deep gorge in the surface of the Earth formed by erosion and sand. Another one made from sand is a sand dune, made from wind erosion of sand. What are some different forces that can change the Earth's surface? The forces are water, ice, and wind. How is wind, water, or ice involved in the formation of these landforms? They are involved in these landforms because they can weather, erode, or deposit sediments, or rocks.]]> 2018-05-05 17:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/258236307 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/260092530 Alternative energy is energy that does not use nonrenewable resources and uses renewable resources. What are some examples of alternative energy resources? Some types of alternative energy resources are solar, wind, biofuel, geothermal, and hydroelectricity energy. Solar energy is energy used from the sun. Wind energy is energy from the movement of the air. Biofuel is fuel made from plant material. What are some of the advantages of these resources? One advantage is that it doesn't use nonrenewable resources. Another advantage is that we will conserve them. Are there any disadvantages? From what I know there are no disadvantages because they don't use fossil fuels for power.]]> 2018-05-11 22:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/260092530 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/260158478 What are renewable resources and what makes them nonrenewable? Renewable resources are resources that are constantly replace by nature and can not be easily exhausted. What are nonrenewable resources and what makes them nonrenewable? Nonrenewable resources are resources that can not be replaced in a short amount of time and they are easily exhausted. One way we can save nonrenewable resources is to use conservation. Conserving nonrenewable materials helps to make them last longer, so we can use them. ]]> 2018-05-12 17:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/260158478 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/260159259 There are many patterns on Earth. Some patterns are shadows, tides, and many more. A shadow is an area without light. Tides are the rise and fall of the level of the sea in responses to the Moon's gravitational pull. The Moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planet. What is the sequence of the Moon's appearance each month?How do shadows change during the seasons? The shadows change during the seasons by how high the sun is in the sky. In Winter, the sun is lower in the sky, so the shadows are longer. You can predict how long or short the shadows are going to be by the sun. Collect and analyze your data to predict what happens next, so you will be prepared. ]]> 2018-05-12 17:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/260159259 353387 https://padlet.com/353387/7x6l1l27fz1m/wish/260249903 An inherited trait is passed down from generations to generations. A learned behavior is picked up from experience and practice. A behavior is an action or pattern of behaving. What is the difference between an inherited trait and a learned behavior? The difference between an inherited trait and a learned behavior is that inherited is passed down and learned, you have to practice it many times to get it down. What are some examples inherited traits in plants and animals? Some examples of inherited traits about plants are that they produce their own food and oxygen for us to breathe. Examples of inherited traits for an animal is that they breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. What are some examples of learned behaviors in plants and animals? Some examples of learned behaviors in plants are plants having to learn how to grow. Examples of learned behaviors in animals are hunting and caring for themselves and their packs.
