Today’s Plan

• Complete graphic organizer for measurement tools

• Measuring with rulers notes• Whiteboard measuring practice• Metric Notes• Whiteboard metric practice• Measuring in cm and mm worksheet

Why are we learning about measuring?

• Measuring carefully and correctly will give you more accurate results in experiments. If you don’t measure carefully you might not notice small changes that occurred.

• Think of things that could happen if you didn’t accurately measure medicine, building supplies, or recipe ingredients.

Quick Check

• What tool(s) can you use to measure volume of a liquid?– Graduated cylinders and beakers

Quick Check

• A ruler can be used to measure what two metric units?– Millimeters and centimeters

Quick Check

• What tool measures the mass of objects?– balance

What three units can you measure with a ruler?

InchesCentimetersMillimeters

How do you measure millimeters on a ruler?

Measuring Length

• Record length measurements in decimals, not fractions.

• 11.5cm NOT 11 ½ cm

Measuring Length

In science, measure using the metric side of the ruler (cm and mm, NOT inches).

Measuring Length

• Measure starting at the zero, NOT the edge of the ruler.

What’s wrong here?

Whiteboard Practice

• After you see the question, write your answer on the whiteboard.

• Do NOT hold up the board until the teacher calls for it.

• After the question, erase your answer and rotate the board.

Get supplies for your group

• 1 whiteboard• 1 marker• 1 tissue/paper towel

1. What is the length in cm?

2. What is the length in cm?

3. What is the length in cm?

4. What is the length in cm?

5. What is the length in mm?

6. What is the length in mm?

7. What is the length in mm?

8. What is the length in mm?

• Put supplies in a neat pile in the middle of your table.– Don’t touch supplies until we need them again

later.

Metric System Notes

• The measurement system the US uses is called the customary system. It includes feet, inches, yards, and miles.

• How many inches are in a foot? – 12 inches

• How many feet are in a yard?– 3 feet

• How many inches are in a yard?– 36 inches

• How many yards are in a mile?– 1,760 yards

• The customary system that the US uses isn’t very common in other countries. Why do you think that is?

• Other countries use the metric system instead.Metric System Notes:• The metric system is easier to use because it is

based on the number 10.• Scientists use the metric system because it

makes mathematical calculations easier.

• The metric system is made up of these units:–Kilo- (the biggest unit)–Hecto-–Deca-–Base (grams, meters, and liters)–Deci-–Centi-–Milli- (the smallest unit)

• Length is measured using kilometers (km), meters (m), centimeters (cm), and millimeters (mm).

How big are these units?

• A kilometer is similar to a mile.• A meter is similar to a yard.• A centimeter is similar to an inch.• A millimeter is similar to the tip of a pen.

• There are 10mm in 1 cm.• There are 100cm in each meter.• There are 1000m in each kilometer.

Whiteboard practice again

• Remember to rotate writers after each question.

• Don’t hold up the board until the teacher asks you to.

• Measure the length of a room?

What unit of length would you use to…

• Measure the length of a toothbrush?

Matter and Atoms Whatever page you’re on

• What do you think chemistry is?• What do you think matter is?• What are the three common types of matter?• What are some examples of matter?• What is the smallest possible piece of matter?

Today’s Plan

• Read about matter together • Take notes on matter• Atoms Family• Exit Slip on matter– Know the definition of matter– Know what atoms are made of– Know the charges and locations of the subatomic

particles

Matter Reading

• Make sure you follow along as we read and listen quietly

Notes on Matter

• Write down the red words and anything else that your teacher asks you to.

• Chemistry is the study of matter and what matter does.

• In other words, chemistry is the study of stuff and what stuff does on a very small level.

Matter Notes

Matter Notes• Matter is anything that has mass and takes up

space.• All the stuff around you is matter and you are

matter too.• The three common states of matter are solids,

liquids, and gases.

What are some examples of matter?

Examples of Matter: (you write down any five)

Quick Check

• What is chemistry?– The study of matter and what matter does.

Quick Check

• What is the definition of matter?– Anything that has mass and takes up space

• Matter can have different properties (characteristics).

• Every form of matter has 2 kinds of properties:– Physical– chemical • We will learn more about these another day…

• An atom is the smallest possible piece of matter.

• All matter is made of atoms.• An atom is the basic particle that makes up all

elements.

Atoms!

• Where can you find atoms?– Everywhere and in everything!

• Subatomic particles are the three things that make up an atom.– Proton– Neutron– Electron

Quick Check

• What are the 3 subatomic particles?

• A proton is a subatomic particle that has a positive electric charge.

Proton Picture:

• A neutron is a subatomic particle without an electric charge. Think “neutral.”

Neutron Picture:

• Protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus (center) of the atom.

• An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. – Electrons have a much smaller mass than

protons and neutrons. – Electrons are outside of the nucleus.

Electron Picture:

Draw the diagram in your lab book.

Quick Check

• What kind of charge does a proton have?

• What kind of charge does a neutron have?

• What kind of charge does an electron have?

Quick Check

• Where are protons and neutrons located?

• Where are electrons located?

Neutron

Proton

Electron

The Atoms Family

• After you read about a character, fill out his or her name, description, and favorite activity.

Exit Slip Time!• Label your note card with your FIRST AND

LAST NAME, DATE, and HOUR. Labeling this correctly is worth one point.
