Students list properties on the board.
EXPLORE:
Using Googledocs, students work in small groups on a common document discussing properties of cotton socks, plastic socks, metal socks.
REVIEW:
Discuss why properties are important... How did the sock activity demonstrate this? How is this related to systems?

SCI FRI --- What is a Flame?
The fuel loses mass, it turns to a gas. (Oh, yeah!) Pyrolysis!
Before the next change is through, atoms shine blue. Chemiluminescence!
When the process is complete, it gives off heat. Oxidation!
Extra carbon will glow red, orange and yellow. Incandescence!
