Science- What's the Matter?

What is a solid?

• It is a state of matter. The particles are packed in closely together

• its flows and can be poured.

• 1 of 4 states of matter

• a favour you do for someone

What is a liquid?

• 1 of 4 states of matter

• A state of matter. The particles move more freely and take up the shape of the container they are in.

• something with smell, colour, texture, shape.

• fanta, milk, orange juice, water

What is viscosity?

• when something is a solid it may be viscous.

• oil, water, juice

• honey, soap, shampoo

• property of a liquid that describes how fast or slowly it will flow

How would you describe the viscosity of honey?

• Viscous- high viscosity meaning it is thick, gooey and flows slowly.

• Low viscosity, runny and flows quickly

• delicious and bees make it.

• what is viscosity?

How would you describe the viscosity of water?

• High viscosity- thick, gooey, flows slowly

• I don't know what viscosity is?

• Low viscosity- runny, flows quickly

• In the middle of high and low viscosity

How do we know if an investigation is fair?

• COWS MOO SOFTLY

• Check to see if only 1 variable was changed, 1 variable was measured and every other variable remained the same.

• DOGS BARK LOUDLY

• Investigations are always fair.

What do you need to consider before you begin an investigation?

• if your shoes are tied up

• the safety and risks involved

• that you have your lab coat on

• your prediction is correct

Why are Science Investigations important for everyday life?

• Investigations give us reliable and trustworthy data that helps us make decisions and live our life in a safe and efficient way.

• its cool and fun

• Because otherwise we couldn't go to the moon

• They help us predict and observe.

What are observations?

• Things we notice with our 5 senses

• a tricky course with obstacles

Observable properties of Solids?

• fixed shape

• flows, fixed volume, no fixed shape

• fixed shape, fixed volume, colour, shape, size, texture

• ductility
