Matter and Energy John Dalton’s wild explanation. All matter is composed of tiny, moving particles called atoms.

Matter and Energy All matter is made of atoms, which are far too small to see directly through an ordinary microscope. All matter is made of atoms, which are far too small to see directly through an ordinary microscope. Individual atoms combine to form molecules. Individual atoms combine to form molecules. There is space between molecules. There is space between molecules. Molecules are always moving. Molecules are always moving.

Matter and Energy Systematic Observations We will place balloon over a flask of dry ice and a flask of water ice. What do you think will happen in each case? Hypothesis: If we….then…. DATA: Record your observations in your notebook. Claims and Evidence: Do you want to revise or add to your claims and evidence?

Matter and Energy Systematic Observation Focus Question: What do we want to find out about dry ice? Write your own question here.

Exploring Dry Ice Make your own “discoveries” about dry ice Make your own “discoveries” about dry ice You MUST come up with an explanation for your discoveries. You MUST come up with an explanation for your discoveries. Record observations and explanations Record observations and explanations

Matter and Energy Dry Ice Science Notebook Prediction: I think…because… Planning: How will you organize your research? Include what you did and what you observed. Data: Record your research using the method you selected above.

Matter and Energy What’s the Matter? PREDICTION/HYPOTHESIS: Flask with balloon: If we add dry ice to the flask with the balloon, then the mass of the system will (increase, decrease, or stay the same) because…. Flask without balloon: If we add dry ice to the flask without the balloon, then the mass of this system will (increase, decrease, or stay the same) because…
