Learning Goals

  • ✓Model how thermal energy affects particle motion.
  • ✓Identify substances by observable properties.
  • ✓Use shadow patterns as evidence of Earth's rotation.
  • ✓Explain how Earth's spheres interact during real-world events.

Mini Lesson

  1. 1Matter is made of particles too small to see.
  2. 2Adding heat increases particle motion and spacing.
  3. 3Materials can be identified by properties such as magnetism, solubility, conductivity, and texture.
  4. 4Shadows change because Earth rotates on its axis.
  5. 5Earth's systems are connected, so a change in one sphere can affect the others.
