week2_prompt #2

Pysical properties as in soilds, liquids, and gasses effect the states of matter in one way and in one way only,space.Depending on the state depends on how much space is taken up.For example when you have a pudel of water verses a ice cube in a cup,the ice cube in a cup takes up more space than the pudel of water becuase the cup of water is melted verses it being frozen.Another example is like when you make spinache when is frozen it takes up way more space than when you cook it and its steamed.That happeds to me quite often with me and i wonder why it doesnt seem like at much as it was when it was first in the pot when it was frozen.Matter is anything that takes up space,so when the they are in surtain properties they each take up a different amout of space.

Week1_Prompt#2

The diffrence between a chemical change and a physical change is pretty simple.A chemical change is when one or more substances are changed to a whole new substance.The easiest way i can describe a chemical change is by saying it's like this,if you mix orange juice with grape juice it taste like a completly different type of juice.A physical change is just when something looks differnt but is the same substance.Like ice for instance,if you see a cup of ice and a cup of water isn't it the same thing?Its the same exact substance it just appers diffrently.Which now leads me to matter physical apperence has alot to do with matter.Back to the ice ,the ice takes up more space than the melted water right? So as you can see the physical change or apperence has alot to do with the matter becauase every state takes up space.So to remember this chemical,physical and matter are all connected...

Technology In Science

I love science becuase i love to the resons why for everything,so its nice to go through procedures and things becuase i can see the results and see why it happends.I think science is fun because its a new way of learning things in the classroom.Its not just like we read and get the answer or rais our hands and asks the teacher of the answer,we would go throught each step to find our answer.I also think i like science becuase i like to observe things, i like to see the change from befor and after.Science is a way to get up and move around and have fun laerning something.I love science becuase we dont just work mentaly but also physicly.
