Standard 8.P.1: Matter and Change
1 Everything is Made of Bits
Look at your desk. Look at your hand. Everything is made of tiny bits.
A tiny bit is called an atom.
Atoms are too small to see. They are like tiny LEGO bricks for the whole world!
🧱
Atoms are building blocks
2 Pure or Mixed?
Element
An element is made of only one kind of atom.
🥇 Gold is an element.
Compound
A compound is two or more atoms stuck together.
💧 Water is a compound.
3 The Big Map
Scientists use a map for all the elements. It is called the Periodic Table .
The Periodic Table lists all elements by how they act.
4 How Matter Changes
Physical Change
It changes shape, but it is still the same stuff.
✂️ Cutting Paper 🧊 Melting Ice
Chemical Change
It turns into something new . You cannot change it back!
🔥 Burning Wood ⛓️ Rusting Metal
The Big Rule
Matter stays the same. You cannot make new stuff. You cannot lose stuff.
