We just finished up our unit on the Scientific Investigation. Students can now identify and apply the components of scientific investigation – Question, hypothesis, procedures, results and conclusion. Students know how important controlled and manipulated variables are to an experiment.

We will start Chemistry at the beginning of the second quarter. Students will be able to:  Describe magnetic behavior in terms of attraction and repulsion.  Identify physical properties of matter (color, odor, elasticity, weight, volume).  Identify state changes caused by heating and cooling solids, liquids, and gases.  Identify mixtures and pure substances.  Use appropriate metric measurements to describe physical properties.  Distinguish between physical and chemical changes.
