The Three States of Matter 1/25- 1/29

Image
Link Link Summary What is matter? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.  Three forms that matter can be in are solids, liquids, and gases. You can change one form of matter into a different form. Read on to find out more. Some properties of matter:           How it... Looks (shiny, black, colorful, dull, etc.) Feels  (smooth, sharp, rough, bumpy, etc.) Smells (good, sweet, bad, rotten, etc.) Sounds (loud, quiet, echo, soft, etc.) What it  Does (rolls, bounces, walks, crawls, etc.) One state of matter is a solid. Some examples of solids are pencils, books, computers, etc.  A solid is a matter that has a size that always stays the same. The shape cannot change, and it does not take the shape of its container. Do you think an ice cube is a solid? Another type of matter is a liquid. Some examples of liquids include juice, water, milk, rain, etc. A liquid takes the shape of any...

In the periodic table, the rows are called periods. Along the rows, the elements are organized by atomic number (the number of protons.) The rows also have the same energy level or the number of electrons. For example, in the first row, all of the elements' atoms have one energy level, and so on.The atomic mass is the number of neutrons plus the number of protons. The atomic mass can be a decimal, and it is ordered increasingly. The columns in the periodic table are called groups or families. Each family has a name. For example, group one is composed of alkali metals which is the family with Lithium, Sodium, and more. Each group also has the same number of outer, or valence electrons. The elements in group one ...

http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/content/dam/kids/photos/animals/Mammals/A-G/cheetah-mom-cubs.jpg.adapt.945.1.jpg Summary: Have you ever seen a cheetah, or are you planning to ever see one? Cheetahs live mainly in grasslands and areas with bushes and trees in some parts of Africa and the middle east, but you may have trouble finding one because they are very close to extinction. Less than 10,000 cheetahs are left in the wild. This is because of loss of habitat, and less prey to eat which threatens the loss of these beautiful creatures. The scientific name for a cheetah is  Acinonyx jubatus. The family name of cheetahs is Felidae. Their lifespan can be from 10 - 12 years, depending on the different conditions of prey, habitat, and weather. They eat carnivores such as  gazelles, impalas, which is a medium-sized antelope, and smaller hoofed animals in their habitat, though they can also eat rabbits, birds, and other small animals. The cheetah is the f...
