1. |
ENERGY |
|
• Energy makes things happen.
• Energy takes many forms.
• Most of the energy used by organisms,
including humans, comes from the Sun in
the form of light.
• Stored energy can be converted to other
forms of energy.
• Machines and living things can convert
energy into motion and heat.
• Energy can be carried from one place to
another by waves, electric current, and
moving objects. |
• Energy Sources
• Energy Conversion
• Energy on the Move
• Summary: Energy
• Science Notebook: Students write
about their observations of energy
sources and energy conversions.

LIGHT |
|
• Light is a form of energy that travels in
straight lines from a light source.
• Light can reflect off surfaces that it strikes.
• An object is seen only when light from that
object enters an eye.
• White light is a mixture of all colors.
• Light can be absorbed by matter.
• The apparent color of an object is the result
of the light it reflects.
• The apparent color of an object is affected
by the color of light striking it.
• A shadow is created when objects block
light. |
• Reflection
• Throw a Little Light on Sight
• Summary: Light
• Science Notebook: Students
record the ways they worked
with mirrors to solve mirror
challenges and what happens to
the appearance of objects when
different colors of light are used
to illuminate the objects.

MATTER |
|
• The behavior of a sample of matter in an
open container indicates its state.
• The gram (g) is the standard unit of
measure used to quantify mass in the
metric system.
• Volume is a measure of the three-dimensional
space occupied by matter.
• The liter (L) is the standard for measuring
fluid volume in the metric system.
• Opinion is based on belief; scientific
evidence is based on observation. |
• States of Matter
• Opinion and Evidence
• The Metric System
• Summary: Matter
• Science Notebook: Students
record predictions and
measurements using metric tools
for mass and volume.

CHANGING MATTER |
|
• Degree Celsius (ºC) is the unit used when
scientists measure temperature.
• Melting occurs when solids are heated.
• Different substances melt at different
temperatures.
• Evaporation occurs when liquids are
heated.
• When two substances are combined, a
reaction may occur, producing a new
substance with unique properties.
• Matter is made of small particles, atoms. |
• Change of State
• Atoms
• Reactions
• Summary: Changing Matter
• Science Notebook: Students
explain the results of a chemical
reaction. |
