Graphic Organizer Due Wednesday

This is how your graphic organizer should be set up.  We folded it together in class but this shows how it should be labeled.  You need to draw an example in each section, it needs to be colored (no white space & look like a 6th grader colored it), and outlined in black marker.  This is due when you come into class on Wednesday.

Quiz On Wednesday 14th

What should I know for the quiz on Wednesday:
Define the following terms: organism, nonliving (abiotic), living (biotic), dead, and dormant
1. Differentiate between dead and nonliving
2. Characteristics of A Living Thing (8 of them)- think about the 4 needs and the 3 functions to help 
3. What is the relationship between structure and function?
4.  When given examples, be able to determine whether or not they are living, nonliving, dead, or dormant 

Matter Unit Test Tuesday December 6th

The unit test on matter is over all of the following topics.  You will be asked to complete multiple choice questions, analyzing pictures and graphs, and answering extended response answers. 

1. Explain that atoms are the building blocks of matter. Also know what particles make up an atom, the importance of the particles, how the periodic table is arranged, and the differences between elements and compounds.-1.2 and notes 

2. Complete a graphic organizer comparing pure substances and mixtures

3. Compare and contrast mixtures and compounds -1.3 and notes 

4. Look at any object and be able to describe the physical properties of matter 

5. Determine the difference between weight and mass and then determine an objects density- 1.1, notes, lab 

6. Explain the different states of matter and how the different states of matter behave- 1.4 and notes

7. Draw particles representing each state of matter 1.4 and notes

8. Explain how energy can be related to states of matter  
9. Explain how gas behaves- use our notes on keeping one variable constant and what happens to the rest of them 

How to get Science World

For those of you that forgot what I showed you in class about how to get to your digital version:

1. Click on the link on the right hand side of the blog under Science Resources
2. Log in : student, password= demko 312
3. Go to the left hand side of the website to Archive
4. Scroll to October 26th
5. Select see results
6. Click on Surviving Mars and it will take you to the digital issue

Atom's

What atom is it?
You should be able to identify an atom/element on the periodic table
You should know your vocabulary- see quizlet or academic notebook
You should be able to create a Bohr Model given information about your atom

You should be able to be given an element from the periodic table and identify each part
You should be able to explain how all matter is made up of atoms

6- atomic #

12.01- atomic mass (neutrons and protons)

C- symbol for the element

Carbon- name of the element  

You should be able to be given the Atomic Number and the Atomic Mass and be able to figure out the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons an atom has.

Ex. (from above)

Carbon

Atomic # = 6

Atomic Mass = 12 ( you always want to use an average)

# of protons = 6  (same as the Atomic #)

# of neutrons = 6 ( Atomic Mass- Atomic #)

# of electrons = 6 (same as protons- for the most part, otherwise we consider them ions, which you will learn next year :))
