Summary:This week in class we learned about the three states of matter. There are points in which matter changes these types of changes are called chemical changes also the points of which they change some of the names are: Freezing point, Melting point, and Boiling point. There are also changes that don't change the matter but change what the matter looks like which is also called a physical change an example would be if I moved my arm it would look different but the matter hasn't changed. Solids are when atoms cling together and don't move liquid is where the atoms are close but the move a little and gases are where the atoms are all over the place moving around. Fun fact there aren't just three states of matter there are four solids liquids gases and plasma!


S&EP
SP3: Planning and carrying out investigations:
We carried out an investigation by getting out MSG salt sugar Epson salt and tested different things.
The main goal is to find out what the mystery crystal is. So far we have crushed the crystals and we have observed the crystals.

Experiments 1/17

Summary: This week in class we learned about experiments. We learned about how to conduct an experiment and we used sheets to help us out. We also did the last part of the scientific method sharing our results with other scientists. The thing we learned about in the experiments how do different colors of M&M's dissolve faster?

Summary: This week in class we learned about how hot air and cold air effect weather. There are land breezes and sea breezes, and they happen at different times. When there is a high pressure system, there should be no clouds or weather to be seen. When there is a low pressure system, you can expect low temperatures and cloudy weather with chances of rain. Fun Fact: did you know that there is a symbol for wind speed and cloud coverage.


SP4 Analyzing and Interpreting Data:
This week in class how we analyzed data was we used these things called  a gizmo, we observed the weather in the gizmo. How we interpreted the data was we used packets and filled, them with the information we got from the gizmos.
