Assignment #1
Watch the Science Max and the Bill Nye Videos on States of Matter. Answer the following questions and turn in your responses in the google classroom using google docs.
#1: What are the different states of matter?
#2: Give two examples of each state of matter.
#3: What are two properties or characteristics of each state of matter?
#4: Describe how each state of matter is different at the molecular level. Why do they behave the way they do?
Assignment #2
Changes in matter can be either physical (no change to the molecules like when ice melts into water) or chemical ( a change to the molecules like you add vinegar to baking soda to create Co2). Review the videos below and choose two experiments to perform at home to demonstrate the difference between physical changes and chemical changes in matter.
Explain and document your experiments using pictures in a google doc
What change to the matter occurred?
Explain how the change occurred in both cases. Make sure to talk about the changes to energy and the molecules in the matter
