Chemical Vs Physical Change (This will be moved to Friday or Monday)

Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. At the molecular level, chemical change involves making or breaking of bonds between atoms. These changes are chemical:

• iron rusting (iron oxide forms)
• gasoline burning (water vapor and carbon dioxide form)
• eggs cooking (fluid protein molecules uncoil and crosslink to form a network)
• bread rising (yeast converts carbohydrates into carbon dioxide gas)
• milk souring (sour-tasting lactic acid is produced)
• suntanning (vitamin D and melanin is produced)

Physical change rearranges molecules but doesn't affect their internal structures. Some examples of physical change are:

• whipping egg whites (air is forced into the fluid, but no new substance is produced)
• magnetizing a compass needle (there is realignment of groups ("domains") of iron atoms, but no real change within the iron atoms themselves).
• boiling water (water molecules are forced away from each other when the liquid changes to vapor, but the molecules are still H₂O.)
• dissolving sugar in water (sugar molecules are dispersed within the water, but the individual sugar molecules are unchanged.)
• dicing potatoes (cutting usually separates molecules without changing them.)

How to Play Tchoukball

Rules:
Can be played inside or outside.
Team size depends on court size.

To score a point you must throw the ball off the net from outside the crease. If it hits the ground your team gets a point.

If you throw from inside the crease the other team gets a point.

If the other team catches the ball before it hits the ground then you do not get the point.

After a point the defending team starts the action from the end of the field where the point has been scored.

Additional Rules:
No more then three steps with the ball
No more then three-five passes with the ball
No more then three seconds with the ball
No physical contact.
No interceptions
No stealing the ball from the other teams hands.
If the ball hits the ground on a pass the other team gets possession.

The Great Space Debate!

Read this list of Pro's and Con's are you for or against space travel? Be prepared to tell us why!

PROS OF SPACE EXPLORATION

1. Space exploration allows us to find out more about the galaxy we are in as well as learn more about our planet.

2. Finding an inhabitant planet other than earth can help reduce overpopulation concerns.

3. While we are exploring space, we have learned so many things we wouldn’t know otherwise. We have learned of starts, planets other galaxies, and the new coming idea of what could be past our galaxy are endless.

4. The design of new technology evolves as space exploration expands and evolves, all of which generates jobs, opportunities and the overall good of the world.

5. Weather patterns can be studied when we are in space, allowing for a better understanding of one of nature’s strongest forces.

CONS OF SPACE EXPLORATION

1. Space exploration takes up a lot of valuable and costly resources that could be better used in a needy world.

2. Space exploration is very costly to do. With budget cuts and the government in deep debt, it is hard to think how much more exploration we can actually accomplish without the financial means to do so.

3. Traveling into space is dangerous and those who go into space risk their health when doing so. The conditions outside the earth’s atmosphere can cause any medical conditions and make health concerns worsen. 

4. It is quite possible that there are diseases in the other atmospheres that could be a detriment to the country if it were to ever come into the earth’s atmosphere. The chances are unlikely, but there is a lot more of space to learn about.

5. Items that came into the earth’s atmosphere that don’t break up upon entry and disintegrate can cause massive damage when they land on the earth, such as a meteor.

Our Complete Whisper Paragraph.

Paragraph: We all need to listen to our whisper as Steven Spielberg said. He believes that if you listen to the little things good things could happen for you. We know this because he said the world might need your dream. One way that I will follow my own dreams is to work hard and help save animals even if it seems really challenging to do. This is why I am going to listen to my whisper.

Blue= Proof

Green= Connection
