School Closure Physical Science

Below are photo challenges. Complete a total of (3) challenges, (1) per week, in any order. You should be in your pictures.  E-mail me your pictures by April 27th. 

Challenge 1: Review the 3 laws of motion using your notebook or by searching it online.  Discuss these three laws and what they mean with someone at home.  Take a picture demonstrating each of the three laws.  You should be in each of the three pictures. 

Challenge 2:  Take a walk outside and look for evidence of physical and chemical changes around where you live.  Create a sign with one side saying “physical change” and one side saying “chemical change”.  Take a picture with you and your sign correctly identifying one physical change and one chemical change.  For your third, and last picture, create your own physical or chemical change at home and correctly identify it.  Your last shot should be an action shot.(Example: bake a cake, do some yard work, make a volcano…)

Challenge 3: Take a look at things you find at home and identify an element, a mixture, and a compound.  For each picture create a sign.  On your sign identify the material, and whether it is your element, mixture, or compound. 

Challenge 4: Elements on the periodic table can be classified as metals, non-metals, or metalloids. Choose three items at or around your home.  Take a picture of each substance, identify the element in the substance, and then state whether the substance is a metal, non-metal or metalloid. (example: pencil lead, carbon, non-metal--you cannot use the example)

Challenge 5: Make a hot wheels track and race at least (5) different cars. Take a picture of you and a sign correctly identifying when the cars show potential energy and when they show kinetic energy. Make a table with each of the car's speed and take a picture of the table and the winning car. (3 pics: 1 showing kinetic energy, 1 showing potential energy, and your table with winning car)

Challenge 6: Matter can be in a solid state, a liquid state, a gas state, or a plasma state. Take a picture of you and a sign correctly identifying a material that is in each state. Make sure that you have at least (3) pictures and that each picture is a different state of matter.
