Why are atoms the building blocks of the world? What is the difference between a physical and chemical change? How can you tell the difference between a mixture and a solution?
Matter: • • • • • • •
atoms as building blocks basic atomic structure molecules elements and compounds physical and chemical change mixtures and solutions movement of molecules within each state of matter
How do molecules move within each state of matter? Does mass change when heat expands the volume? How does a roller coaster represent potential and kinetic energy?
Version 1
Energy: • • • • • •
heat transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) potential and kinetic renewable and nonrenewable energy transfer (biotic and abiotic)
Skills
