Compare and ContrastComparing and contrasting information helps youunderstand some kinds of writing. We compare when wesay how things are alike and contrast when we say how
they are different. Writers use clue words to signal likenesses and differences.
The most common clue word for likenesses islike . Clue words such as yet, but, and however signal differences.
In the lab report below, the student made observations thatcompare and contrast the water and ice in the activity.
Lab Report
Ice is the same substance as water. But the temperature of ice is lower. Thatswhy its a solid instead of a liquid. So we were surprised that the ice floated onthe water. Later, the ice was beginning to melt. It was smaller than before butstill floated on the water.

Lesson 1
What is matter? All forms of matter are made up of tiny particles that are
too small to see. The way these particles are arranged andmove determines whether the matter is a solid, liquid, or gas.
Properties of MatterLike ice, water, and air, you are made of matter. All
living and nonliving things are made of matter. Matteris anything that has mass and takes up space. Scientistsuse different ways to identify matter. One way is by itsproperties. You can identify many properties of matter byusing your senses. For example, you can look at the color,size, and shape of some matter. You can touch matter todecide if its texture is rough or smooth, soft or hard. Youcan recognize some matter by its smell and taste.
Testing MatterSimple tests can show other properties of matter.
You can see how matter reacts if you heat or cool it, forexample. You can see if matter is affected by a magnetor if it allows electricity to pass through it. You can hitmatter with a hammer to see if it shatters or is not evendented. You can see how flexible it is. Does it breakor does it simply bend however you move it? You canobserve what happens when you place matter into water.
Does it float or does it sink to the bottom? You can try tomix it with other matter. Does some matter disappear?Or does something new seem to take its place?
1. Group five different objects in yourclassroom by properties. Describe the properties.
2. Collect pictures or small objects thatshow different textures of matter. Make a collage withthe pictures or objects you collect.

States of Matter
Using different instruments, scientists have learned thatall matter is made up of tiny particles. These particles arearranged in different ways. These particles also move. Thearrangement and movement of the particles in matterdetermine its form, or state. The three most familiar statesof matter are solid, liquid, and gas.
Usually substances on Earth exist naturally in justone state. Can you name a substance that you can findnaturally in all three states? If you said water, you are right.You can find water naturally in all three forms. Liquid wateris the same substance as the solid called ice and the gas
called water vapor.

321
SolidsAt temperatures of 0C or below, the shape of an
ice cube is the same whether it is on a plate or in acontainer. A solid is matter that has a definite shape
and usually takes up a definite amount of space. Itsparticles are closely packed together. The particles havesome energy. They move back and forth, but they do notchange places with each other.
LiquidsWater takes the shape of any container into which
you pour it. If you pour the water in the container ontoa table, its shape changes, but the amount of water staysthe same. Matter that does not have a definite shape,but takes up a definite amount of space, is a liquid. In aliquid, the particles are not held together as tightly as ina solid. The particles of a liquid are able to slide past oneanother.
GasesIn the gas state, water is called water vapor. It is
invisible. Water vapor and several other gases make upthe air that is all around us. Like a liquid, a gas takesthe shape of its container. Unlike a liquid, a gas expandsto fill whatever space is available. A gas always fills thecontainer it is in. The particles in a gas are very far apartfrom one another and move in all directions. Particles ina gas move around more easily and quickly than thosein a solid.
1. Name the solid and gas forms of water. 2. Draw a diagram to show the arrangement and
movement of particles for one state of matter.
3. Compare and Contrast the movement ofparticles in solids, liquids, and gases.
You cant see theparticles in a solid.This drawing showshow the tightly packedparticles are arranged.
You cant see theparticles in a liquideither. The particles areclose to each other, butthey are not held tightly
together.
The particles in a gasare far apart. Even if you could see them, you would not see theparticles arranged inany special way.

Lesson 2
How is matter measured?You can use metric rulers, balances, and graduated
cylinders to measure some properties of matter.
MassDid you know that your weight on
Earth is about six times as much asyour weight on the Moon? Thatsbecause your weight depends upon
the force of gravity. Your weight onanother planet might be much greaterthan your weight on Earth, but yourmass is the same. While your weight onthe Moon might be less than your weighton Earth, your mass is the same whereveryou go.
Scientists use mass because they want ameasurement that will not change if the objectis moved to a different location. Mass is themeasure of the amount of matter in an object.The mass of an object does not change unlessmatter is added to or removed from it.
Using a Pan BalanceYou can use a pan balance to
compare a mass that you knowwith one that you do not know.When the pans are level, the twomasses are equal.
Suppose you found the mass of thetoy in the picture and then took it apart.Next you measured the mass of each partseparately and added them together. Whatdo think the total would be? The total mass
of all the parts is the same as the mass of theassembled toy. The toys mass is 23 grams.
The pan balance showsthat the mass of the toy,23 grams, is equal to thetotal mass of its parts.
23 grams
8/14/2019 Physical Science.pdf
12/177
323
Suppose someone who did not see the toy takes all ofthe parts and makes a toy that looks very different fromthe one you see. What do you think is the mass of thisnew toy? Thats right, 23 grams. The only way to changethe toys mass is to add parts or not use all of them. Thisis because the only way to change the total mass of anobject is to either add matter or take it away.
Metric Units of MassScientists use metric units when they measure and
compare matter. The gram is the base unit of mass inthe metric system. Some of the metric units that areused to measure mass are milligram (mg), gram (g),and kilogram (kg).
Like our place-value system, the metric system isbased on tens. Prefixes change the base unit to larger orsmaller units. For example, 1,000 milligrams are equalto 1 gram, and 1,000 grams are equal to 1 kilogram.
The mass of alarge paper clipis about 1 g.
The mass of a
nickel is about 5 g.
The mass of themilk in this cartonis about 1,000 g,or 1 kg.
1. Explain why your mass isthe same wherever you go.
2. The mass of a nickel isabout 5 g. About how many nickels areneeded for a mass of 1 kg? Rememberthat 1 kg 1,000 g.

VolumeTake a deep breath. As your lungs fill with air, you
can feel your chest expand. This change in your lungsize is an increase in volume. Volume is the amount ofspace that matter takes up.
Like mass, volume is a property of matter that canbe measured. One way to measure the volume of asolid such as a box, is to count the number of unitcubes that fill it. Another way to find the volume is touse a ruler to measure the length, width, and heightof the box. Then multiply the measurements. If a boxmeasures 5 cm long, 2 cm wide, and 8 cm high, then
the volume of the box is 5 cm 2 cm 8 cm, or80 cubic centimeters.
Scientists often use metric units when they measure.The table below shows how the units of length in themetric system are related. Some metric units that areoften used to measure and compare the volume of asolid are cubic centimeters (cm 3) and cubic meters (m 3).

Volume of LiquidsLiquids do not have a definite shape.
To measure a liquid, you use a measuringcontainer, such as a graduated cylinder.
A graduated cylinder is marked with metricunits. Some metric units used to measurevolume are milliliter (mL) and liter (L).One liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. Theunits marked on this graduated cylinder aremilliliters (mL).
Volume of Other Objects
A graduated cylinder can be used to find thevolume of solids that sink in water. To measurethe volume of a ball, for example, put somewater into a graduated cylinder. Record itsheight. Then place the ball into the cylinder,and record the height of the water again.The ball has pushed away some of the water.The water level has risen the same number ofmilliliters as the volume of the ball. A volumeof 1 mL is the same as 1 cm 3.
1. What metric units are used to
measure the volume of solids? of liquids? 2. Express 2 L in milliliters.
The water level in this graduatedcylinder rose from 50 mL to55 mL when the ball was added.The volume of the ball is55 mL 50 mL 5 mL or 5 cm3.

Density Sometimes you need to know how much
mass is in a certain volume of matter. Supposea friend asked you, Which has more mass,a piece of wood or a piece of steel? Your firstresponse might be, How big is each piece?In order to compare the masses of two objects,you need to use an equal volume of each. Theamount of mass in a certain volume of matteris a property called density. For example, ifthe pieces of wood and steel are the same size,the piece of steel has more mass and a greater
density than the wood.
Finding Density You find the density of a substance by
dividing its mass by its volume. The units oftenused for the density of solids are grams percubic centimeter. You write density as a fraction:
mass in gramsvolume in cubic centimeters . The density of water is 1
because 1 gram of water has a volume of1 cubic centimeter.
An objects density determines whether itfloats or sinks in a liquid. You can see in thepicture at the right that liquids can float on topof other liquids. For example, water floats ontop of corn syrup because its density is less thanthe density of the corn syrup.
A peeled orangesinks, but an unpeeledorange floats.

327
Comparing DensitiesThe substances with the greatest densities are
near the bottom of the cylinder. The substanceswith the least densities are near the top.
You can also compare the densities of theobjects that are floating. The density of the grapeis less than the density of the corn syrup butgreater than the density of water. The densityof the plastic block is greater than that of thecooking oil but less than the density of water.The cork has the least density of the liquids andthe other objects in the picture.
An ice cube floats in water because the densityof ice is less than the density of water. But itsjust a little less! So most of a floating ice cube isbelow the surface.
1. Explain why steel sinks in water and cork floats. 2. An unpeeled orange floats in water, but a
peeled orange sinks. What can you concludeabout the density of an unpeeled orange?
3. Scientists usesubmersibles (submarines) to explore oceans.Use library books or the Internet to find outmore about how submarines sink or float.
Life Jacket Life jackets or life preservers aremuch smaller than you are. Butthey help you stay afloat in water.They are filled with foam or othermaterials that have densities lessthan water. A life jacket pushessome of the water out of the way
just like the ball in the graduatedcylinder. The life jacket helps youkeep your head above the surfaceof the water.
The liquids and otherobjects have differentdensities.

Lesson 3
How do substancesmix?
Mixtures are made by physically combiningtwo or more substances. The solids, liquids,or gases in a mixture are not chemicallycombined. They can be easily separated.
Mixtures
You may have eaten a snack madefrom a mixture of nuts, dried apricots,and raisins. Each ingredient in thismixture keeps its own taste and shape.
A mixture is a combination of twoor more substances. Substances in amixture can be separated. This meansthat they are not chemically combined.
Peas, carrots, and corn can be combinedin a mixture. In fact, you can buy abag of frozen mixed vegetables at thestore. Each vegetable can be sortedinto separate piles. The peas, carrots,and corn taste the same whetherthey are separated or mixed together.All substances in a mixture that areseparated out have the same propertiesas before they were mixed.
A magnet can be used to separatethe safety pins from the mixture.
The yellow beadsfloat in water.
8/14/2019 Physical Science.pdf
18/177
329
Some substances can mix physically withother substances. The makeup of a mixture canvary. A mixture does not necessarily contain aspecific amount of each substance. They are notjoined together chemically, so each substancein the mixture keeps its own properties. You caneasily see the properties of each substance thatmakes up the beads, marbles, sand, safety pins,and salt mixture shown here.
You can easily separate the ingredients inmany mixtures. Since safety pins are attractedto a magnet, you can use a magnet to separatethem from the rest of the mixture. Then, you
can put the rest of the mixture in water. Youcan use a spoon to skim off the floating beads.If you pour the water through a filter, you canremove the sand and the marbles. Then, afterthe water evaporates, the salt will be left.
You separated the substances of this mixture,but you did not change the properties of any ofthe individual substances.
1. When the bead, marble, sand,and salt mixture is put into water, the yellowbeads float. What does this tell you about thedensity of these yellow beads?
2. Expository In yourscience journal, write a numbered set ofinstructions for separating a mixture of paperclips, wood chips, gravel, and sugar.
After the water fromthe mixture ofsalt and waterevaporated, salt
was left behind.
Filter paper can beused to separatesolids from liquids.

Solutions
If you stir salt and water together, you make amixture. You cannot see the salt in this mixturebecause it has broken into very small particles. Ithas dissolved in the water. The salt and water is aspecial kind of mixture called a solution.
In a solution, one or more substances aredissolved in another substance. The most commonkind of solution is a solid dissolved in a liquid,such as salt in water. In this kind of solution, thesubstance that is dissolved is the solute. In asolution of salt and water, the salt is the solute. A
solvent is the substance that takes in, or dissolves,the other substance. Usually there is more solventthan solute. In salt water, the solvent is water.
Common Solutions
In the oceans, salt and other mineralsare dissolved in water. Ocean water is asolution. But a solution does not have
to be a liquid. The air you breathe,for example, is a solution madeup of gases. The steel usedfor buildings and cars isa solution. During theprocess of making steel,carbon and iron, two solids,are melted into liquid form.Then the carbon is dissolvedin the iron.
Club soda is a solution madeup of a gas dissolved in aliquid. The solubility of the gasdecreases as the temperatureof the solvent increases. Thatis why a club soda goes flat
faster when it gets warm. Asthe water becomes warmer,more gas leaves the solution.
The salt isdissolved in
this solution.

Salt dissolvesin water.

Solubility No matter what you do, you cannot make
sand dissolve in water. The ability of onesubstance to dissolve in another is called itssolubility. Solubility is a measure of theamount of a substance that will dissolve inanother substance. Since sand does not dissolvein water, the solubility of sand in water is zero.
Sometimes you can speed up the process ofdissolving the solute by raising the temperatureof the solvent. This is true for most solutes thatare solids. For example, you can dissolve moresugar in warm water than you can in cold water.
Another way to make a solute dissolve morequickly is to crush it. If you drop a sugar cubeinto a cup of water it will dissolve, but it may
take a while. If you crush the sugar cube intotiny crystals, the crystals will dissolve veryquickly. The reason for this is that more of thesugar particles are touching the water whenthe sugar is in tiny crystals than when it is in asugar cube.
1. What are the parts of a solution? 2. What factors affect the solubility of a
substance? 3. During the Gold
Rush, many people panned for gold. Panningseparates gold from a mixture of gold andother particles such as sand. Use books orthe Internet to find out about the CaliforniaGold Rush.

Lesson 4
How does matterchange?
Matter undergoes physical and chemical changes. In a physical change, the size, shape, or state of the substancechanges. A change that forms a new substance with new
properties is a chemical change.
Physical ChangesIf you cut and fold a piece of paper to make an origami
sculpture, you change only the size and shape of the paper.You have not changed the particles that make up the paper.
A change in the size, shape, or state of matter is anexample of a physical change. A physical changedoes not change the particles that make up matter. Thearrangement of the particles, however, may be movedaround during a physical change.
Are you causing a physical change when you mix saltand water? A solution of salt and water can be compared toa mixture of nuts and raisins. You can separate the nuts andraisins by hand. If you make a mixture of salt and water,the particles are too small for you to separate by hand.However, if you allow the water to evaporate, the salt will beleft behind. Because the particles in a mixture do not changeand can be separated, making a mixture is an example of aphysical change.
Breaking a pencil is a physical change. The pieces of thepencil are still made of wood and graphite. If you sharpenthe broken ends, you can keep using the pencil. Anotherphysical change is tearing. If you tear a sheet of paper intotiny pieces, it still is made of the same kind of matter.
Have you ever made a bowl out of clay? You start with abig blob of clay and form it into the shape of a bowl. Theclay bowl is made of same kind of matter as the original
blob of clay. The clay is just a different shape. It haschanged physically.

Phase ChangesSuppose you freeze water into an ice cube and
then let it melt. The liquid that results is still water.Ice and liquid water are the same substance indifferent states. These states are called phases.
What causes the particles of a substance to bein one phase rather than another? The answer hasto do with energy. Energy can cause the particlesin a substance to move faster and farther apart.Substances change phase when enough heatenergy is added or taken away. For example, youput liquid water into a freezer to remove heat andmake ice. You add energy to water when you heatit. If you boil water in a pot, some of the waterbecomes water vapor. Phase changes areexamples of physical changes that can bereversed by adding or removing energy.Every substance changes phases at adifferent temperature. 250C

The melting point is a physical propertythat helps identify a substance. Thetemperature at which a substance melts isthe same temperature at which it freezes.
This is also true when a substanceevaporates, or changes from a liquid to agas. The boiling point is the temperatureat which a substance changes froma liquid to a gas. The temperature atwhich the substance evaporates is thesame temperature at which it condenses.Condensation is the changing of a gas intoa liquid.
1. How does adding or takingaway heat energy cause changesin matter?
2. Descriptive Supposeyou are a drop of water. Describe in yourscience journal what happens to youwhen heat energy is added or taken away.
328CLead melts.
1535CIron melts.
Energy and WaterThese phase changes areexamples of physical changes.
Whether water is a solid,liquid, or gas, it is still water.
In a solid, the particles are
attracted to each other. Theyare close together and donot move very much.
Adding heat increases theenergy of the particles.The particles move faster.Solid ice changes phase bymelting into a liquid.
Boiling water adds even moreheat energy. The particles moveeven faster and farther apart.Liquid water changes phase togas water vapor.

Burning wood reacts veryquickly with oxygen in the air.The new substances formed by
this change are ashes, carbondioxide gas, and water vapor.
336
Chemical ChangesIf you leave an iron nail in a damp place,
it will rust. Suppose you compare the rustwith the iron nail. You will find that thenail and the rust have different properties.The color and hardness of rust and iron aredifferent. Rust is a different substance thatresults from a chemical change in the ironnail. Unlike a physical change, a chemicalchange produces a completely different kindof matter. In a chemical change, particles ofone substance are changed in some way to
form particles of a new substance with differentproperties.
You can see evidence of a chemical change,such as the bubbles in the picture. Or the newsubstance may be a different color. It mayhave a different smell or temperature. Manychemical changes give off heat. In each case,the chemical properties of the materials that
were mixed have changed.
Rust forms slowlyas oxygen fromthe air combines
with the iron inthe gear.
The acid in vinegar reacts with baking soda and formsbubbles of carbon dioxide. Thebubbling and fizzing show thata chemical change is occurring.
Tarnish, like rust,results from a chemicalchange when certainmetals, such as silver,react with air.

ElementsIn a pure substance, particles are alike. The
simplest pure substances are called elements. Thereare more than 100 known elements. Scientists have
organized information about these elements ina chart called the Periodic Table. Each element isin a particular row and column in the table. Theposition in the Periodic Table gives informationabout the makeup and properties of each element.Each element has its own symbol. The letter orletters in the symbol are sometimes from theelements name in Latin.

What if your pencil bent every time you tried towrite with it? What if your pillow were made ofmetal? All of the properties of matter are important indeciding how it is used. Matter can be hard or soft,rough or smooth. It can be sticky, stretchy, spongy,or slick. Some chemists who work for NASA makematter that can be used on space vehicles.
Metals used for space shuttles must not be damagedby a lot of heat. Some metals are better than othersat handling heat. Chemists can also mix metals tomake a material that can stand more heat than eithermetal could on its own. The Kennedy Space Centeris close to the ocean. There is so much salty waternearby that metals often rust. The metals NASA usescannot rust easily.
Plastics are also important materials used in space.They may need to be hard and slick, or soft andrubbery. Chemists can make plastics that have manydifferent properties.
Analytical chemists need to understand math andscience well. They must graduate from a college oruniversity. They can work in many different places.

Extreme Sports for Kids: I understand that
you enjoy riding in hot-air balloons. Justwhat causes a hot-air balloon to rise?
Balloonist: It all results from heat transfer. A balloon is like a hugeplastic bag. To inflate the bag, I fill it with air. Then I heat that airwith a burner. A flame reaches into the plastic bag.
ESK: Then does heat transfer take place?
Balloonist: Yes, the air inside the bag gets warm and less dense thanthe air around it. The cool air sinks under the warmer air. As a result,
the balloon goes up!ESK: I know that air expands when it gets heated because particlesare moving really fast and really far apart!

Lesson 1
Why does matterhave energy?Energy is the ability to cause change or do work.Heat is the total energy of moving particles in matter.The more particles something has, the more internalenergy it contains.
Energy in Matter
Rub your hands together. Whathappens? You just used energy tomake heat! Energy is the abilityto change something or do work.Cool hands changed to warm ones.Whenever the location, makeup, orlook of something changes, energyis used. All changes need energy!
All matter is made up of tinyparticles that are always moving.In a solid, particles are closelypacked. They move slightly aroundfixed positions. In a liquid, they are close together.They flow freely past one another. In a gas, particlesare very far apart. They move in all directions.Particles in an object move because they have energy.
As an object becomes hotter, its particles move
faster. As the object cools, the particles move moreslowly. Thermal energy is energy due to movingparticles that make up matter. We feel the flow ofthermal energy as heat.

Measuring Moving ParticlesHave you ever seen a thermometer like the one at the
bottom of the page? You measure temperature with it.Most thermometers are thin glass tubes that are joined toa bulb that holds colored alcohol. The number linesmarked on the outside of the tube show degrees. Onenumber line is scaled in degrees Celsius. The other isscaled in degrees Fahrenheit. A thermometer is based onthe idea that matter expands when its particles movefaster and contracts when they slow down.
If a thermometer touches matter withparticles that are speeding up, particles in
the liquid inside the thermometer speedup too. They move farther apart. Becausethe liquid expands more than the glasstube, it moves up the tube. The reading onthe number line shows a greater number ofdegrees. If the particles slow down, the liquidcontracts. The shorter column in the tubeshows fewer degrees.
The thermometer must be on or inwhatever its measuring. If its nottouching the material, it might notmeasure particle motion correctly.
How a Thermometer
WorksThis thin glass tube has a bulbfilled with colored alcohol.The bulb is placed on or inthe material being measured.Depending on the materialstemperature, liquid travels up ordown the tube. The thermometerin the photo is measuring thetemperature of the air. The number
lines on the outside of the tubeshow degrees Celsius on the rightand degrees Fahrenheit on the left.

The water in both pots isat the same temperature.The larger pot has moreparticles and thereforemore thermal energy.
8/14/2019 Physical Science.pdf
42/177
Heat and TemperatureIf you wonder how hot or cold something is, you
might think about its temperature. When a materialhas a high temperature, its particles move fast. But
temperature is not a measure of how much heat thematerial has.
Many of us mix up the meanings of heat andtemperature. The difference is in the movement ofparticles of matter. Temperature is the measure of theaverage amount of motion of particles in matter. Itmeasures the average energy. Thermal energy is thetotal energy of those moving particles. It measuresboth how fast the particles move and how many aremoving. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from
one piece of matter to another. For example, think of a large pot and asmall pot that are each half filled with boilingwater. Because the large pot holds morewater, it has many more water particlesthan the small pot has. More particles meanmore energy of motion. The large pot has
more thermal energy. Since the water ineach pot is boiling, the temperature of
the water in both pots is the same.The average amount of motion ofparticles in the water is also thesame. So, the size of the pot doesnot affect temperature !
1. What happens to the motion of particles when an objectbecomes hotter?
2. Explain why a large pot of water takes longer to begin boilingthan a small pot. Both pots started with the same temperatureof water, and burners for both pots are set on high.
3. Cause and Effect What causes liquid in a thermometerto travel up and down the tube?
353
Fewer particlesin the smaller potmean less thermalenergy.

Lesson 2
How does heat move?Heat is the transfer of thermal energy. Heat can be moved in
several ways. The transfer of heat energy affects climate.
Conduction
Thermal energy flows from somethingwarm to something cool. The transfer ofthermal energy betweenmatter with different
temperatures is heat. A heatsource is anything that givesoff energy that particles of mattercan take in. Remember when yourubbed your hands together earlier? Youused mechanical energy to make heat. Whensolids are touching, heat energy moves byconduction. Conduction is the transfer of heatenergy by one thing touching another.
Suppose that you stick a strip of wax on thehandle of a metal spoon. Then you place thelower part of the spoon in boiling water. Whathappens to the cool spoon? Thats right, it getshot! The spoons particles that touch the waterstart to move. As they move more quickly,they crash into the particles in the spoonshandle. More and more crashes take
place. Soon, heat energy from thewater moves throughout the spoon.The transfer continues until both thewater and the spoon are the sametemperature. How do we know that theheat energy has moved? The hot spoonhandle and the melting strip of waxare proof! A wooden spoon does notconduct heat energy. Its handle stayscool, and the strip of wax on itdoesnt melt.
Heat energy from theboiling water moves
through the metalspoon. The heatcauses the piece of
wax to begin melting.

1. What is thedifference between an insulatorand a conductor?
2.Use reference sources such asencyclopedias, nonfiction books,and the Internet to find othermaterials that are used asinsulators. Explain where the
material is used and how itworks as an insulator.
Conductors and Insulators
The raised hairs of Japanese macaquemonkeys trap heat. Themonkeys share bodyheat to keep warmin the snow.
355
Metal Some materials let heat move through them more easilythan others do. A material that readily allows heat to move is aconductor like the metal spoon. Many metals, such as aluminum,
copper, and iron, conduct heat well. If you place an iron pan ona burner or other heat source, it gets hot quickly.
Wood You also know that some thingslike the wooden spoondonot get too warm even when they touch something hot. They areinsulators. Aninsulator is a material that limits the amount ofheat that passes through it. Have you noticed that many pots andpans have wooden handles? Thats because wood is a great insulator.
The wooden paddle in the photo does not conduct heat to the hands of theperson taking the pizza from a hot oven. Heat moves around the paddle.
Marble Since ancient times, marble has been used in buildingsand monuments because it is strong and beautiful. It resists fires anderosion. Marble is also an insulator. A slab of marble is helpful in thekitchen. Its cool, smooth surface is a perfect place to mix tasty treats.
Plastic Do you know why so many foods are served in foamcontainers? The plastic foam that is used to make the containers hasmany small air pockets. The plastic is not the only insulator. Air is agood insulator, too. The plastic and air insulators keep the food at theright temperature.

45/177356
Convection
If you dont like the heat, get out of the kitchen! Have youfelt how warm a kitchen gets when a stove is on? Its the resultof convection working! In convection, a fluid moves from placeto place. A fluid is a substance that flows but has no definiteshape. Gases and liquids are fluids.
A pattern of flowing heat energy is a convection current.A convection current forms when heated fluid, such as air,expands. It becomes less dense than an equal volume of thecooler air around it. The cooler air sinks below the warmer air.The warm air is forced upward, and the pattern continues. Thecool air warms and is forced upward by colder air.
Look at the two mobiles in the photo below. Can you find theheat source? Its the candles. As the energy from the burningcandles heats the air above them, the air particles move faster.The particles move farther apart as they take in the energy. Thismakes the air less dense. Cooler air rushes under the less denseair. It pushes the warmer air upward. As long as the candlesthe heat sources are burning, movement of the rising warmair will make the spiral twirl and the blades spin.
One kind of much larger convection current shapes ourweather. Uneven heating of the air around Earth causescurrents that cover thousands of kilometers. They make Earthsmajor wind patterns.

Radiators in BuildingsA radiator heats the air by convection. Water is heated in a boilerthat is often located in the basement. Then the hot water or steamis pumped into pipes throughout the building. The pipes lead intoradiators in each room. Radiators are made of various metals such ascast iron. As the hot water or steam moves, some of its heat energypasses through the walls of the radiator into the air. Convectioncurrents move the air to heat the entire room. The cooler water returnsto the boiler through another pipe. The heating cycle begins again.
8/14/2019 Physical Science.pdf
47/177
Radiation
You know that the Sun is a major energy source.Every time you get warm in the Sun, you feel radiation.You feel it when you sit near a fire too. Radiation
is energy that is sent out in little bundles. When theradiant energy hits you, the particles in your skin movemore quickly. You feel warm.
Radiation can travel through matter or empty space.Dark-colored or dull surfaces absorb radiation. Butpolished, shiny surfaces reflect radiant energy or letit pass. Clear materials such as air and glass allowradiant energy inside. They also prevent heat loss
through convection. That is why greenhouses are made of materialssuch as plastic or glass. In a greenhouse, radiation provides anenvironment where plants grow regardless of the climate outdoors.People control the temperature, light, and moisture the plants receive.
Other objects that send out light also send out heat. For example,a pet lizard might need a special light to stay warm. The light sendsout heat. Perhaps youve seen special lamps that restaurants use tokeep food warm.
Radiation is different from conduction and convection. Conductiondepends on the crashes of particles in a substance. Convection needsthe spreading out of a fluid when particles crash. But radiation doesnot need particles. It happens all by itself. Radiation can moveenergy great distances, like from the Sun to Earth.
Heat transfers through radiation in different ways. Have youwarmed cold hands near a fireplace? When you do, energy movesto your hands by radiation. Like all thermal energy, radiationmoves from warmer areas to cooler ones.

Conduction, Convection,and Radiation
Once the Suns energy reaches Earth, Earthssurface heats up. Then conduction takes place.
Earths surface transfers heat to the air. Earthwarms the air around you. And Earth is heatedby the Sun.
But its not just conduction that is happening!Convection currents form as the air is heatedby Earths surface. That warm air expands andrises. As the rising air cools, the water vapor init condenses and falls to Earth as rain or snow.
Convection currents in the air cause Earthswind and rain patterns .

Did you know that the research NASA uses to launch peopleinto space helps people on Earth? For example, some NASAscientists are part of the Thermal Protection Materials and SystemsBranch. Their task is to develop TPS (Thermal Protection System)materials that protect spacecraft and astronauts from heat. Theirresearch produces materials that are lightweight, yet strong andheat-resistantmaterials like those needed to protect steel workers,fire fighters, and others.
Some of the TPS material looks like a carpet. You can roll it out,cut it to shape, and even walk on it! NASAs scientists are testingit to find how well it performs.
NASA uses TPS materials in heat shieldsthat guard spacecraft when theyenter other atmospheres or comeback to Earths. One materialwas used on the MarsPathfinder space probe .

In East Africa, many people use wood to cook food.But wood is hard to find. In some parts of Africa, people spendover half the money they earn each year on cooking fuel.
One of NASAs energy management programs uses satelliteinformation to study Earth from a global point of view. NASAsSurface Solar Energy (SSE) information lets people use theirlatitude and longitude to learn the amount of solar energyavailable for cooking and many other purposes. Solar CookersInternational, a group that helps others learn to cook with theSun, can zoom in on the places where solar cooking can be
best used.NASAs SSE information helps East Africans use the Sun, a
natural resource and great source of heat energy, to cook.Then the people dont need to hunt for wood or spend whatlittle money they have on fuel.
With the Suns energy, East Africans use solar cookers toprepare meals. The Sun is a safe and clean heat source. Solarcooking does not cost much. It does not cause a lot of smoke
or air pollution in the environment. Solar cooking helps peopleharness some of theSuns power!

Max Planck changedphysics with his theoryabout radiant energy.
Max Planck was a German physicist who livedfrom 1858 to 1947. A physicist is a scientist whostudies matter and energy. While studying heat andradiant energy, he noticed the ways that hot surfacessent out light and took in radiant energy. Plancksaid that objects were able to send out and take inradiation in only little bunches. Planck called thosebunches quanta. His ideas became known as thequantum theory.
Plancks ideas about energy quanta were differentfrom past ideas. Scientists believed energy flowedwithout stopping. They knew that at times energyacted like a wave, but at other times, it acted likea collection of particles.
Then, another physicist, Albert Einstein, usedPlancks theory to explain his own ideas. Einstein
said that light is quantized. He meant that thingsthat send out light do so in little bundles of energy.He thought that radiation was made up of particles,not waves.
The work of one scientist plays a partin the work of others. Plancks ideasaffected Einsteins! Scientists nowknow that radiation has qualitiesof both particles and waves.
The little bundles of energy that Planckdescribed are the power source for solar
cookers. Use the Internet or other resourcesto find other devices that use solar energy.

Lesson 1
How does matterbecome charged?What causes a thundercloud to make lightning? Why do sockscling in the dryer? The answer is static electricity.
Electric ChargesYou dash across a carpet and touch a metal doorknob.
OUCH! A jolt of static electricity and a small spark startle you.
To understand what happened, start with atoms, the tinybuilding blocks of everything. A sheet of paper is about onemillion atoms thick. Almost all atoms have three differentparticles. Some particles have a positive charge (+), some havea negative charge (), and some have no charge. Matter usuallyhas the same number of positive particles as negative particles.It is neutral.
Charged particles can move between objects that are closeto each other. Static electricity happens when positiveand negative charges no longer balance. Static means notmoving, but eventually the static electricity does move. It maymove gradually or it may move very quickly. Moving chargesgenerate electrical energy, which changes into sound, light,and heat energy.
Static Electricity As charged particles move between atoms in storm clouds,
the clouds become charged. Usually, the positive particlescluster near the top and the negative particles gather near thebottom of the clouds. In time, this static electrical energy isreleased as lightning. It heats up the surrounding air, makingit glow. Lightning also creates a mighty soundthunder.

How Charged Objects BehaveYou can predict how charged objects will behave. If two
objects have opposite chargesif one is positive and theother is negativethey will pull toward each other. Thisattraction causes an electric force. An electric force is thepull or push between objects that have a different charge.
A charged object can attract something that has nocharge. If you rub a balloon on your hair, it picks upnegative particles. It becomes negatively charged.Then, if you hold the balloon near lightweightneutral objects, such as scraps of paper, theymove toward it. The balloon will stick to a wall
because the negative charge repels the negativecharges in the wall. The part of the wall nearthe balloon is positively charged. After awhile, the balloon loses its charge and fallsoff the wall.
Suppose you are wearing a wool cap ona chilly winter day. While you wear thecap, negative particles move from your
hair to the cap. As a result, each strand ofhair becomes positively charged. When youremove the cap, all the positively chargedhairs stand up and move as far away aspossible from the other positively chargedhairs. Two objects that have the same chargepush away, or repel, each other.
The negativelycharged balloonmakes part of thepaper positive. Thatpart of the paper pullstoward the balloon.
Charged amberattracts feathers.
The Name ElectricityMillions of years ago sap oozedfrom a tree trunk. Graduallythe sap hardened. Sometimes ittrapped prehistoric insects. Amberis fossilized tree sap. In Greece, ascientist named Thales noticed thatamber could do amazing tricks.When amber is rubbed on fur, itbecomes charged. Feathers stickto it. The word electricity comesfrom elektron, the Greek wordfor amber.

An Electric FieldThe space around electrically charged objects is called an
electric field. To represent an electric field, scientists drawlines coming out of an object. An electric field is invisible. It
is strongest close to the charged object. It gets weaker fartherfrom the object.
An electric field causes an electric force on charged objectsthat touch it. A positive electric field attracts negative charges.It pushes away positive charges. A negative electric fieldattracts positive charges and pushes away negative ones.
The balloons have oppositecharges. They attract each other.
The balloons have the samecharge. They repel each other.
1. What effect will a charged object have on an object withthe opposite charge?
2. Give two examples of static electricity. 3. Narrative Write a story in your
science journal that tells a curious first grader about static
electricity. Include at least two experiences you might havein a typical day.

Lesson 2
How do electriccharges ow?
How does the electrical energy in a battery get to a light bulb?To study how electricity moves, scientists build models called circuits.Electric charges travel through different materials at different speeds.
How Electric Charges MoveStatic electricity stays in one place. But most electricity is
on the go. An electric charge in motion is called an electriccurrent. The electric charge flows from one place to another.An electric current travels quickly and invisibly.
Learning how electricity works can be extremely dangerous.Studying a model is a much smarter way to learn how chargestravel. A model of a circuit is shown on the next page. Acircuit is a loop. In order for charges to flow through it, acircuit cannot have any breaks. It must be a closed circuit. In
contrast, an open circuit has at least one break that interruptsthe flow of electric charges. Scientists use symbols to showdifferent parts of the circuit in diagrams. The diagram and thepicture on the next page both show the same circuit.
Going with the Flow The flow of electric charge is not the same in all materials.
Some kinds of atoms become charged more easily than others.Materials made up of such atoms are conductors. The copperwire in the picture and most metals are good conductors. Silveris an excellent conductor of electric charge.
Other materials are made of atoms that do not becomecharged easily. Electric charge moves through them moreslowly. These materials are insulators. Plastic, rubber, glass,and dry wood are good insulators. In the circuit picture, thewire is insulated. This insulation prevents the electric chargesfrom coming in contact with other wires. Different colored
insulations help show how complex circuits with many wiresare connected.

A ClosedCircuit
Energy sourceBatteries are the power source
for this circuit. They cause theelectric charges to flow.
Means of Energy TransferThe wires provide a path through whichthe charges flow.
SwitchWhen thisswitch isclosed, the
circuit is closed.The electriccharges flowwithout anyinterruptions.
ResistorA coiled wire is inside the light bulb. This wireis made of a material with a high resistance.Resistance means the material does not allowelectric charges to flow through it easily. Because ofthis resistance, the flowing electric charges heat upthe wire. The wire gives off light.
1. What is thedifference between an insulatorand a conductor?
2. Cause and Effect Whatcauses some materials to be goodinsulators of electricity?
Insulated WireThe copper wireis insulated with aplastic covering.

Types of CircuitsIn a simple circuit, known as a series circuit, electric
charge can flow only in one path. When the power source isturned on, the charged particles in the wire start flowing in
one direction around a single loop. Any bulb along this pathreceives the same amount of electrical energy. If all the bulbsare identical, none will be any brighter than the others.
But, if one bulb burns out, it acts like an off switch andopens the circuit. The other bulbs wont receive the energy theyneed. They wont light either. In a series circuit, all deviceswired into the circuit share the electric current equally. Today,people rarely use series circuits. Our appliances and otherelectrical equipment need different amounts of current.
In a series circuit, one missing
or burnt-out bulb opens thecircuit. No bulbs will light.

381
Parallel Circuits
One way to prevent all the lights in a circuitfrom going out is to connect them in a parallelcircuit. A parallel circuit has two or more paths
for the electric charge to follow. The main loopleaves from and returns to the power source. Alongthe loop, however, there are little loops. Each littleloop is a separate path for the electric charge. Howthe charges flow through each little loop does notaffect the flow of charges in any other path.
Circuits in your home, school, and otherbuildings are parallel circuits. A break in one partof the circuit does not stop the charge from flowing.Unlike a series circuit, a parallel circuit can handleelectrical devices that require different amountsof current.
1. What is the main difference between a seriescircuit and a parallel circuit?
2. Why are most homes wired in a parallel circuitrather than a series circuit?
3. Make a drawing of a parallelcircuit that has light bulbs on several little loops.
On one of the little loops, draw the light bulbsconnected in a series circuit.
In a parallelcircuit, a missingor burnt-out bulbdoes not open thecircuit. The otherbulbs stay lit.

Lesson 3
What aremagnetic elds?
Sometimes magnets pull together, but sometimesthey push apart. What causes magnets and certainother materials to behave this way?
MagnetismA magnet is anything that attracts other
things made of iron, steel, and certain othermetals. Magnetism is a force that actson moving electric charge and magneticmaterials that are near a magnet. Theword magnet comes from Magnesia, apart of ancient Greece that today ispart of Turkey. Long ago, Magnesiawas famous for having large
amounts of lodestone, amagnetic mineral.
Magnetic FieldsHow do magnets work?
Each magnet has aninvisible field around it. Themagnetic field goes out in
all directions. The shape ofthe magnetic field depends onthe shape of the magnet. Look at thepatterns of iron filings near the horseshoemagnet and the bar magnets. The patternsare different because the magnetic fields havedifferent shapes. But whatever the shape of themagnet, the field is strongest at the magnetsends or poles. The pulling or pushing force isstrongest at the poles.
Iron filings near a horsehoemagnet show that the magneticfield is strongest near the poles.

Magnetic PolesAll magnets have two poles, a north-seeking
and a south-seeking pole. Opposite poles haveopposite charges. Unlike charges attract each
other, while like charges repel each other. So,the north-seeking pole on one magnet and thesouth-seeking pole on another magnet pulltoward each other. But the like poles push apart.
If you break a magnet into two pieces, youwill have two magnets, each with its ownnorth-seeking pole and south-seeking pole. Infact, every magnet has both a north-seekingpole and a south-seeking pole. Think of the twopoles of a magnet like two sides of a coin. Onecannot exist without the other.
Iron filings near abar magnet show themagnetic field is strongestnear the poles.
The north-seeking pole of onebar magnet pulls toward thesouth-seeking pole of anotherbar magnet. The iron filingsshow the magnetic field.
Two north-seeking poles repeleach other. The iron filingsshow the magnetic field.
1. If you breaka magnet into two pieces,what happens to itsmagnetic poles?
2.Use the Internet or otherresources to locate placesother than Magnesia wherelodestone is found.

The Largest Magnet in the WorldWhy does a compass needle always move to the north-south?
Many ancient sailors used compasses successfully but didntknow why they worked. Christopher Columbus used a compasswhen he crossed the Atlantic. Around 1600, English scientistWilliam Gilbert suggested that the worlds largest magnet isEarth! In other words, he proposed that Earth is a huge magnet,surrounded by an enormous magnetic field.
Earth behaves like a large magnet. Like all magnets, itsmagnetic field is strongest at the poles. But Earths magneticpoles are not located at its geographic poles. Thegeographic poles are on Earths axis, an invisible line
around which our planet rotates. The magnetic northpole is located in Canada, about 1,000 kilometers(600 miles) from the geographic North Pole. Themagnetic south pole is located in the SouthernOcean near Antarctica.
Why does Earth act like a magnet? Scientistsarent sure of the answer. After all, no one hasactually seen the inside of our planet. But based on
indirect evidence, they suggest that Earths outer coreis made of iron that is so hot that it has melted. AsEarth rotates, electric currents that flow in this liquidiron create a magnetic field. The inner core is probablysolid iron that is also very hot. It doesnt melt because ofthe extremely high pressure.
If no magnetis near, thecompassneedlepoints north.
A bar magnetchanges thedirection in
which thecompassneedle points.
How Compasses Work A compass is a helpful, easy-to-
carry tool. Wherever you are on Earth,one end of a compass needle will point tothe North Pole. It follows an imaginary line thatconnects the magnetic poles of Earth. Once youknow which direction is north, you can easilydetermine south, west, and east.
For a compass to work properly, its needlemust be lightweight and turn easily. Thecompass cannot be close to a magnet. Otherwise,the needle will respond to the pull of the magnetrather than to Earths magnetic field.

The Northern LightsAt certain times of the year, sky-watchers see a spectacular lightshow called the Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights. Aurorasare caused by charged particles traveling quickly from the Sun.The charged particles are attracted to the strongest parts of Earthsmagnetic fieldthe magnetic north and south poles. The particles
collide with gases in Earths atmosphere. Atoms in the gases giveoff the colorful light. Earth is not the only planet with auroras.Astronomers have observed auroras in Jupiters atmosphere.
1. What are some ways that Earth is like a magnet? 2. Why does a compass needle point in a north-south direction? 3. Expository Compasses can be used to
create treasure hunts. Hide a small object. Then write clueson index cards and hide all but the first one. The first clue tells
how to use a compass to find next clue, and so on. Challengea friend to use your directions to find the hidden object.

Lesson 4
How is electricitytransformed tomagnetism?
Electricity and magnetism are closely related. Both are theresult of charged particles moving. The combination of these forces,electromagnetism, is very useful in our daily lives.
ElectromagnetsIn 1820, Danish scientist Hans Christian Oersted was showing
how electric current flowed through a wire. He noticed that themagnetic needle on a nearby compass moved each time heturned on the current. The electric current caused a magnetic field.The current caused the compass needle to move. Oersted saw thatthe forces of electricity and magnetism have a lot in common.This connection led to an important inventionthe electromagnet.

Uses for ElectromagnetsElectromagnets are used in industry to lift
heavy materials. Sometimes the materials are theresources needed for manufacturing. Sometimesthey are waste materials that are being movedso that they can be used in a different way.Electromagnets are also in complex machinesused by doctors and scientists.
You may not realize that electromagnetsare part of many electronic gadgets thatyou use every day. Televisions, fans, VCRs,computers, and DVD players all work because
of electromagnets. In the examples hereadoorbell, a motor, and earphonesyoull seehow electromagnets help convert electric energyto magnetic energy to mechanical energy.

Lesson 5
How is magnetismtransformed toelectricity?
The power of magnetism can be transformed into the power ofelectricity. This discovery led to the invention of the electric motor,
generator, and more.
Electrical Energy Most people take electricity for granted. They find it hard
to picture daily life before electricity. They push plugs intooutlets, without thinking about where the electricity comesfrom. They dont realize that the electrical energy thatpowers their televisions, refrigerators, and lamps hastraveled a long way.
Today we know more ways to use magnetism togenerate electricity. Sliding coiled wire back and forthover a magnet generates electricity. Spinning a coiledwire around a magnet produces electricity too.
When a magnet is moved, its magnetic fieldmoves with it. And changing a magnetic fieldgenerates electricity. The faster the coiled wireor the magnet is moved, the stronger theelectric current it produces. In contrast,
the slower the movement, the weakerthe current. The number ofcoiled loops also affectsthe strength of thecurrent. More coiledloops of wire mean themagnet createsa stronger current.
Wires are wound in coils
around magnets. The wires areattached to instruments thatmeasure the electric current.
