34. Benchmark Essential Content
Understand phase changes as they relate to water.
Recognize the properties of water and water’s common uses.
Identify the properties of water.

35. Let’s Explore!

36. Common Uses of Water
Liquid Phase

37. Common Uses of Water
Solid Phase

38. Common Uses of Water
Gas Phase

39. Phases of Water Liquid (precipitation) Solid (ice)
Gas (evaporation, condensation)

40. Phase changes as they relate to water.

41. Physical change-a change in state
The substance is still the same substance
Form changes but chemical makeup doesn’t

42. Ice changes to water—water changes to ice, frozen water is still water

43. Water changes to steam, a gas, when it is heated to its boiling point,water vapor condenses to form a liquid

44. Changing States of Matter-Water
Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, 212 degrees Fahrenheit

45. Properties of Water
Water is unique in that it is the only natural substance that is found in all three states -- liquid, solid (ice), and gas (steam) on Earth.
Water as a liquid is sticky and elastic, and tends to clump together in drops rather than spread out in a thin film.
Water as a solid (ice) is less dense than liquid water and floats on it.
Water changes state when enough heat or thermal energy is added to it or removed from it.
Water changing one from state to another is an example of a physical change.
Water freezes at 32o Fahrenheit (F) and 0o on the Celsius scale.
Water boils at 212o F and 100o on the Celsius scale.

46. Big Idea 8: Properties of Matter SC. 4. P. 8
Big Idea 8: Properties of Matter SC.4.P.8.3 – Explore the law of conservation of mass by demonstrating that the mass of a whole object is always the same as the sum of the masses of its parts.

47. Conservation of Matter
Chemical changes don’t make new matter
The total mass of the products that form equals the total mass of the substances that react.

49. SC.4.P.8.4 – Magnetic Properties
Investigate and describe that magnets can attract magnetic materials and attract and repel other magnets.

50. William Gilbert, an English physician, first proposed in 1600 that the Earth itself is a magnet, and he predicted that the Earth would be found to have magnetic poles.
Engage: Story slide 2:
Do magnetism cloze activity.

51. Vocabulary
Attract To pull toward one another, as opposite poles of two magnets pull toward one another.
Force A push or a pull.
Magnetism A property of certain kinds of materials that causes them to attract iron or steel.
Repel To push away, as similar poles of two magnets push away from one another.
Pole Either of two opposing forces or parts, such as the poles of a magnet.

52. What is Magnetism?
Magnetism is the force of attraction or repulsion of a magnetic material due to the arrangement of its atoms.
Explain

53. Defined by: http://science.howstuffworks.com/magnet.htm
Magnet Basics
Magnets are objects that produce magnetic fields and attract metals like iron, nickel and cobalt.
The magnetic field's lines of force exit the magnet from its north pole and enter its south pole.
Some magnets occur in nature, they are called natural magnets.
ex. magnetite (also called lodestone)
Defined by:

54. Magnetism Magnetism is a force. Magnets have different strengths
Metals stick to magnets
Magnets have different strengths
Magnets have two poles:
north and south
Like Poles repel
Opposite poles attract
The force of magnetism can travel
through some objects.
Explain
Students share reflections: What do you know about
magnetism now?

55. The Earth is a magnet:
Geographic North Pole
It exerts magnetic forces and is surrounded by a
magnetic field that is strongest near the North and South
magnetic poles.
Magnetic South Pole
Extend/Elaborate
Geographic South Pole
Magnetic North Pole

56. The ends of a magnet are where the magnetic effect is the strongest
The ends of a magnet are where the magnetic effect is the strongest. These are called “poles.” Each magnet has 2 poles – 1 north, 1 south.
Explain

57. Field Lines Around a Magnet

58. Properties of Magnets Like magnetic poles repel each other.
Unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
Not all objects are affected by the force of magnetism
ex. wood, glass, paper, plastic
Common metals affected by magnetism are iron, nickel, and cobalt

59. Let’s Explore What happens if you put together two magnets?
Do they become stronger together?
Experiment with magnets, a variety of sizes of magnetic objects, and write observations about strengths of different combinations of magnets.

60. Magnetism Stations!

Review - True/False
Magnets are objects that produce an area of magnetic force called a magnetic field.
Magnets attract all types of metals.
Magnetism can attract magnetic objects or push them away.
Metals such as iron, nickel and cobalt are attracted to magnets.
Magnetic fields by themselves are visible to the human eye.
Adapted from:
True
False

65. COMPASS We use the Earth’s magnetic field to find direction.
Extend/Elaborate
The needle of a compass always points toward the magnetic south pole.
We call this direction “North” (remember, opposites attract)

66. Lab Reflection (IAN) What do you know about magnets now?
Do you still agree with your statement from Magnets in Water Formative Assessment Probe? Why or why not?
