FOREWORD The MOETE launched Egypt s reform vision for the development of education, and the process of developing curricula comes at the heart of this vision. The implementation of this vision was heralded in 2018, starting with the kindergarten stage in its first and second grades, with the aim of continuing until the end of the secondary stage. This vision endeavored to make major transformations in the teaching and learning processes, where there is a transition from acquiring knowledge to producing it, and from learning skills to employing them both in specific learning situations and in the general life of the learner outside the classroom. Our curricula also integrate values that contribute to the establishment of our   ve society values which pose as a protective fort for our homeland. Egypt s oe reform vision for curriculum development also aims to take into account the oo specifications of pre-university education graduates, as well as the challenges Egypt faces locally, regionally, and globally. The developed curricula are intended to foster a citizen who is capable of engaging in civilized conversations and positive dialogues with the other, in addition to acquiring digital citizenship skills. In this regard, the MOETE extends its gratitude and appreciation to the Central Administration for the Development of Curricula and Educational Materials. It also extends its thanks and gratitude to Discovery Education for their active participation in the preparation of this book. Gratefulness also goes to all the Ministry s experts who contributed to the enrichment of this work. ny i \ This transformation of Egypt s education system would not have been possible without the significant support of Egypt s current president, His Excellency President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Overhauling the education system is part of the President s vision of  rebuilding the Egyptian citizen  and it is closely coordinated with the Ministries of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Culture, and Youth and Sports. The new education system is only a part in a bigger national effort to propel Egypt to the ranks of developed countries, and to ensure a great future for all of its citizens. Science Term 1 | 4

Get Started What I Already Know Plants are all around us. As you walk to and from school, you can probably observe a variety of different plants. You probably know quite a bit about plants already. The first image shows a seed being planted. The last image shows plants on a windowsill. The image in the middle might give a clue as to why the plants on the windowsill are not surviving. Write about what you know plants need to grow and survive, and make a recommendation on how to improve the growth or health of the plants in the window. ww Cob Talk Together Have you ever planted seeds and observed = their growth? Have you ever taken care of a plant in a garden or one inside your home or classroom? Share how you used your knowledge of plant needs to help the plants grow and thrive. During this unit, you will learn that plants use specialized structures to convert light energy from the sun, air, and water to produce their own food. You will also learn about how different living organisms exist in an ecosystem in food chains and food webs, through interactions between producers, consumers, and decomposers. You will also learn how the energy from the sun flows through plants and animals. You will investigate what happens when a food chain is interrupted and what occurs when this happens in an ecosystem. Finally, you will bring together all that you learned and apply this knowledge to the unit project, Build a Miniature Ecosystem. Unit 1: Interactions of Organisms

You have discussed with classmates what plants need to grow. In this activity, you will test your ideas as you investigate whether plants need soil to grow. When a seed begins to grow, we say the seed is germinated. You will germinate seeds in wet paper towels, measure their growth, and then compare their growth to the growth of the seeds potted in soil. Make a Prediction Consider the claim: Plants can grow without soil. Do you agree or disagree? Record your ideas and make a prediction about what will happen when we compare how plants grow with and without soil. Be sure to include reasoning for your prediction.

What Will You Do? 1. Use the water to wet the paper towel. 2. Place three seeds in the top half of the paper towel. Fold the bottom half of the towel up so that it covers the seeds. Place the paper towels inside the plastic zip bag and seal it. 3. Fill the plastic cup with potting soil. Plant the other three seeds in the soil. Water the seeds. 4. Label the bag and the cup with your name. Then, place the bag and the cup ina place where they can get sunlight. 5. Check the growth of seeds over the next several days. Dampen the paper towel and water the soil as needed. Use the table provided to record your data. Measure the growth of each seed and record the measurements. Be sure to record the date of your observations and the location of the seeds, in the cup or the bag. Other Observations Seed Location: Towel or Cup | Measurement | Think About the Activity Now that you have tested your prediction, review the results by answering the following questions. Be sure to record important details for evidence and be complete in your reasoning. How much did the seeds that were placed in the paper towels grow? How did they compare with the seeds planted in soil? Did the growth of the seeds, both in soil and in paper towels, match your initial claim? If not, how was it different? Based on your observations, do seeds need soil to grow? Can plants grow entirely without soil? If so, will they grow better in soil? Why? Concept 1.1: Plant Needs ee

You will perform an experiment to look for any difference in how plants grow in the light and in im 7 the dark. Before you begin the investigation, read the text. Use what you learn to make y   predictions about the outcomes of your experiment. Once you have carried out the 3 f investigation, you will compare and contrast your observations with your classmates. You will set up the activity today and complete the activity later in this concept. Trees and other plants make food through photosynthesis. Green plants use their leaves to collect sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Sunlight makes it possible for the water, taken in by the plant s roots, and carbon dioxide to combine. The result is sugar. This sugar gives the plant the energy it needs to grow. During photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air for us to ECM breathe. What materials do you need?

What Will You Do? 1. Use the permanent marker to write your name on the cups and label the cups A and B. Add soil to your cups. Place the bean seeds on the soil, one per cup, and cover the bees eo seeds with about 2 centimeters of soil. Add the same amount of water to each cup  , aad to moisten the soil. Place cup A where it will receive light and place cup B in the dark. Use the table that follows to record data. Collect information about your plants over a period of 5-10 days that will help you determine how important the role of sunlight ae is in the growth of plants. Record the date each time you make observations. Make sure you are consistent ee about what you are observing. For example, if you are measuring height, do it with both cups, every time.

How do the structures of a plant use water, Lesson 3 1.1 | Lea aa air, and light to perform life processes? Activity 6 a Observe Like a Scientist Parts of a Plant You investigated how different resources are important to plant survival. Now you will continue to research different plant parts that are involved in the process of turning resources into energy for the plant. Read the text. As you watch and read, add any new information to the diagram and descriptions you made in the previous activity. Roots Even though all plants look different, they have similar parts. The roots of the plant perform some very important functions. Roots anchor the plant in the soil. They draw water and nutrients from the soil, which are needed to make food. Plant roots have hairlike features called root hairs. Root hairs increase the amount of water and nutrients the plant can take in. Nutrients pass from the soil to the root. Stems Nutrients are transported to the rest of the plant through the stem in the tubes called vessels. Stems give the plant support and come in a variety of forms. Tree trunks and shrubs have a wood stem. Most flowers have upright stems. Some stems climb, such as vines. Some stems, known as tubers, extend underground, such as the potato plant. Other stems, called runners, run along the ground and help to form new plants. Leaves There are many kinds of leaves. Some are narrow and look like needles, like those on pine trees. Other leaves are flat and much wider. All leaves have tubes running through them called xylem. Xylem helps carry water from the roots to the stem and leaves. The most important function of leaves is to make food for the plant.

--- Page 23 ---
Leaves need water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to make food. This process of making food is called photosynthesis. Structure and Function of Plant A plant s roots absorb water from the soil and carry the water to the rest of the plant. Roots also carry nutrients from the soil to the plant. Water and nutrients move up a plant s stem through tubes called vessels. These vessels are also called xylem. Smaller vessels connect the stem to the leaves. This system helps feed and water all the parts of the plant. The air that plants need moves into leaves through tiny openings called stomata. Leaves also collect sunlight. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is a process that takes place inside the leaves. Leaves contain chlorophyll, which gives them their green color. Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight. Green leaves use the light energy from the sun to combine the carbon dioxide from the air with water to manufacture nutrients (such as sugars, starches, fats, and proteins) that the plant needs to live. Another set of tubes, phloem, transport the food materials downward, from the leaves to the other parts of the plant. In addition to producing food for the plant, photosynthesis also produces oxygen that animals and people need to breathe. Life on Earth without plants would be impossible.

Lesson ik 3 Activity 7 OF Investigate Like a Scientist Hands-On Investigation: Up the Stem You have researched the structure of plants. Now, are you ready to use what you have learned to test your ideas? In this investigation, you will observe how plants move water. You will investigate what transport vessels in a plant look like and how they work to help a plant stay alive. Make a Prediction Think about what you have learned from your research so far.

Activity 8 us Analyze Like a Scientist Comparing Plant and Human Systems You have learned a lot about the structure and function of plants. Have you ever wondered how human systems might be similar to plant systems? Read the article to determine how the human circulatory system is like the plant s vascular system. Need for Energy Humans and plants both need energy and gases from the air to survive and grow. Plants can manufacture their own energy, glucose, through a process called photosynthesis. People, however, must eat food throughout the day for energy. The body obtains glucose and nutrients when the digestive system digests food, after we chew and swallow our food, nutrients are absorbed into the blood. Both plants and humans must take in gases from the air. Gases enter plants through the leaves. Air enters the human body through our mouth and nose and travels to the lungs, where oxygen is absorbed into circulating blood. The Human Body The human body has a system that consists of the heart which consists of four chambers (two atria, two ventricles), blood vessels (tubes) and blood to ot transport nutrients and oxygen to the cells and ~ P  9 Human Circulatory System organs. This is the circulatory system. The three different types of vessels in the human circulatory system are arteries, veins and capillaries. Miceli | can apply an idea in a new way.

--- Page 27 ---
Comparing Plant and Human Systems, continued Blood moves in only one direction in a human s veins or arteries. Arteries carry blood that is rich with oxygen and glucose away from the heart to organs, muscles, bones, and cells so that the body can grow and heal. Veins return the blood that carries carbon dioxide and is low in nutrients and oxygen back to the heart then to the lungs to get rid of carbon dioxide and supply it with oxygen. You can probably see your veins and arteries through your skin on your hands or arms. Comparing the Human Body to Plants Like the human body, a plant needs energy and gases from the air to grow and heal. In plants, these life-sustaining substances move through a system of tubes and vessels called the vascular system. Similar to the way arteries and veins pump blood in a specific direction to and from the heart, plants have one-way vessels that move important substances between organs. Carbon Dioxide Transport System of Plants Sunlight 3 * Water and nutrients taken up by the roots must be transported to the leaves Water for food production to take place. Xylem ne ral tubes allow nutrient-rich water to travel upward through the plant. With the arrival of water, the leaves begin to manufacture glucose. Once energy production is complete, another set of tubes, the phloem, carries the glucose downward into other growing parts of ASRS Gan enS the plant. How is the transport system similar in plants and humans? 1g: _ Talk Together What are some ways that you can keep your = heart and the rest of your circulatory system healthy?

How do the structures of a plant use water, Lesson ik ri ; | Lea aa air, and light to perform life processes? Activity 9 DD Analyze Like a Scientist Plant Food Plants are able to manufacture food from materials that they obtain from their environment. Read the text describing the process that converts energy from the sun into food. Number each step of the process in the paragraphs that follow. Then, compare and discuss your numbering with a partner. Once you and your partner agree, Create a table showing the steps, put in the table the steps number and description, then compare the results with your colleage. You already learned that plants have structures that take in water and nutrients from the soil and move them to other parts of the plant. Plants also have structures that capture sunlight and take in air. Plants then combine the water with carbon dioxide to make a sugar called glucose. Plant cells use this glucose for food. This process happens in a plant s leaves. Sunlight provides the energy needed for this food-making process. Remember that energy can be transformed from one form to another. During this process, light energy absorbed from sunlight is transformed into chemical energy that is found in glucose. This process by which plants use sunlight to manufacture food within the leaf is called photosynthesis. Glucose for Energy Phloem moves glucose from the leaves to the other parts of the plants. Plant cells use glucose as a source of energy to live and grow. As they use glucose, they release oxygen and water into the air. These materials are considered waste products of the photosynthesis process. Other living things, such as animals, depend on the oxygen that plants release during this process of food production.

Activity 10 a Observe Like a Scientist Flowers and Seeds wa Plants use specific structures to obtain the materials they need to grow. You learned that the leaves play an important role in the process a plant uses to make its own food from those materials. What do you think the plant does with the food it makes? Read the text. Look for evidence of what plants do with the food they make. When you think of flowers, you probably imagine large colorful plants seen in gardens. But some plants, such as grasses, have very small flowers that are hardly noticeable, and some flowers are not very colorful. Regardless of the shape, size, or color of flowers, they all have the same main job: to help plants reproduce. Plant reproduction is the process of making new plants. Flowers are the reproductive parts of many plants. Have you ever seen a sunflower? The small dark-colored objects in the center of the flower are seeds. If seeds receive air, water, and the correct temperature, they can grow into a new plant.  9: k,_ Talk Together Now, talk together about how plants use the = / food they make to reproduce.

Lesson ik _ ; Activity 11 OF Investigate Like a Scientist Hands-On Investigation: Seed Dispersal You learned that plants have many structures to help obtain materials and create their own food. One way many plants use the energy from the food they make is in the production of seeds. In this activity, you will design and test a model of an imaginary seed to investigate how seeds are transported from place to place. This is called seed dispersal. First, look at the seeds in the images that follow. What are some of the properties that you notice? Then, listen as your teacher describes the different ways seeds travel.

Next, read the text. Circle evidence that supports your early ideas. If information goes against your early ideas, underline the information. How Do We Get Energy? How do you get the energy you need to think, breathe, move, or do anything else? Some activities, such as hard work or exercise, require a lot of energy. Your body still uses some energy even when you sleep. Food and the oxygen we breathe provide the energy we need throughout the day. The Primary Source of Energy All living things need energy to live, grow, and carry out life processes. The primary source of energy for all organisms on Earth is the sun. Plants absorb sunlight through their leaves and use the sun s energy to make their own food. Sunlight provides the energy for plants to convert water and carbon dioxide from the air into glucose. Glucose is the sugar that plants use to sustain life. This process, known as photosynthesis, is fundamental to life on Earth. Energy from the Environment Living organisms can either produce their own food or get food from other organisms. Animals, including humans, cannot make their own food. Instead, animals get energy from the environment in which they live. Some animals eat plants as food. Some eat other animals that eat plants. Some eat both plants and animals. In this way, energy produced from the sun passes through all life on Earth.

Activity 5 G Observe Like a Scientist Food Chains You already know that energy is the key to keeping organisms alive. How does energy move through an ecosystem? Read the text. Write down any questions or important facts that you would like to share later. Be ready to discuss with your group. Energy for Life All organisms need energy to live. While some living things can produce their own food, but the most cannot. This means that most organisms need to eat to get the energy they need to survive. Living organisms feed on one another. In an ecosystem energy is passed on through food chains of organisms. Producers The first link in any food chain is the food producers. Plants use energy from the sun to produce food. Producers are able to produce food in the form of energy- rich glucose. Nearly all of the producers on Earth are plants. Consumers The second link in a food chain is the primary consumers. [hese are animals that eat plants (herbivores). In this way, energy begins to move up the food chain. Many insects are primary consumers. Next are the secondary consumers that eat the primary consumers. Such as birds, which birds are secondary consumers because they eat insects and other organisms that live on a diet of plants. The next level of consumers is the tertiary consumers that eat the secondary consumers. Tertiary consumers are often large meat-eating animals, like alligators. Decomposers The final link in the food chain is the decomposers. Fungi and bacteria are two examples of decomposers. Decomposers recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem through the process of decomposition. Animals such as worms and millipedes eat dead matter. The waste they produce is rich in nutrients. This makes the soil fertile for plant growth. Concept 1.2: Energy Flow in Ecosystems 29

Underline evidence that you could use to investigate what would happen if an organism was removed. Record the evidence in the space provided. All Organisms Need Energy Organisms that do not capture energy directly from the sun need other organisms to obtain energy. Food chains show how energy passes from one organism to another in an ecosystem. The food chain shows the food, or energy, relationships among organisms within specific ecosystems. One Example of a Food Chain Grass makes its own food using energy from sunlight. A mouse eats the grass to get energy. A snake then eats the mouse, and a hawk then eats the snake. The energy from the sun passes to the grass, then to the mouse and snake, and finally to the hawk. Unlike grass, animals like the mouse, snake, and hawk cannot make their own food from sunlight. The following food chain shows the relationship among these organisms. grass  _ _+ mouse  _> snake  _~+ hawk Predator and Prey In this food chain, the hawk and the snake are predators. They also hunt other animals as prey. The snake and the mouse are prey. They are hunted by other animals for food. Both predators and prey pass food and energy through the food chain.

Most organisms are a part of several food chains. Read the text. Think about how the organisms you observed or read about in this concept interact with one another. Then, write the names of the organisms in the correct column of the table. Interactions Among Organisms Think about the different foods you eat. Imagine those foods are connected to you by lines in a web. All living organisms, including you, interact in food webs. We can draw these webs to show how organisms are connected within ecosystems. Interconnected Food Chains A food web is made up of several interconnected food chains. Food chains show the relationship of food and energy that passes from one organism to another. All food chains begin with an energy source, like the sun. The sun provides energy for the producers. Plants are producers. Plants provide food for a series of consumers, which may eat _ a Maa ta col only plants or may eat both plants and animals. Consumers who eat other animals are predators and the animals they eat are the prey. The ways in which many food chains intersect within an ecosystem form a food web. Producers Predators

Lesson 3 Activity 9 1) Evaluate Like a Scientist Interactions in Food Webs You have now learned a lot about food webs. Using what you know and have observed, answer the three questions that follow to help you communicate your ideas about food webs. How do food webs model interactions among organisms in an ecosystem? How does a food web represent a system for the transfer of energy? Why is a food web a better choice to use to show interactions among organisms than food chains? Now, draw a diagram of your own food web for an ecosystem of your choosing. Be sure to include at least five different organisms in your food web. Concept 1.2: Energy Flow in Ecosystems

We might think of somebody wearing a white lab coat and standing inside in a lab. But Dr. Barak gets to do her research out on the prairie. She always loved animals and plants growing up, but she did not know that there was an actual science where you could study animals and plants she learned about ecology. She took a class in restoration ecology and that was where she learned about, rebuilding habitats that are damaged. Seed Dispersal An interesting thing Dr. Barak has learned about plants is that different plants need different ways to transport or disperse their seeds. One plant has seeds that are really sticky. Their seeds can stick to your clothing. You never know where you might leave them. Other plants have seeds that are dispersed by the wind. These seeds are released from the plant when the plant is ready. The seeds fly away to new habitats to grow in other places. Careers in Ecology When a human encourages to spend some time observing the natural world. If you are interested in the natural world, consider participating in conservation or restoration work in your area to help take care of plants and animals. Your interest in nature now could lead to a career in ecology later in the future.  9: 4, Talk Together Think about the task of scientist when he make = rebuilding habitats that are damaged when planting plants single or in groups and how does this affects its growth and its stability Concept 1.2: Energy Flow in Ecosystems 35

Palau is an island that uses various conservation programs to protect the marine environment and its resources. On an island, it is impossible to separate what happens on land from what happens in the marine environment. Therefore, Palau must closely manage land activities in order to control the quality of the marine environment. Palau also needs well-designed, protected marine environments in place. One way to create these protected environments is to work with fishers to make sure they are not overfishing the coral reefs. Have you ever been to the beach or swum in an ocean?

Then, answer the questions. Seabirds nest on top of mountain cliffs. They dive deep down into the sea to feed on small fish. The fish feed on microorganisms floating on the surface of the sea. These fish are the main source of food for many seabirds. Microorganisms can make their own food. They are found in cold water habitats. These microorganisms are the producers in the marine food web. Small fish feed on these microorganisms. The microorganisms need cold water to survive. If the climate changes and the water becomes warm, they will move toward an area where the water is cooler. The small fish that feed on microorganisms will also move to a new habitat. The seabirds will then no longer have a food source. Some will find a new habitat, while others will die. 2k \ What does the phrase population change mean? aN ON ea How can change in the climate affect the population of a species?

Activity 7 us Analyze Like a Scientist Habitat Loss Think about what you have learned about ocean food webs. Read the text and compare the images. Then, answer the questions. Habitats provide organisms with all the things they need to survive. Humans change habitats. They do this when they add buildings and roads. They do this when they add substances to the water or overfish in the ocean. Human activity can also impact the weather and nonliving factors in an ecosystem, such as the temperature of ocean water. All of these changes can cause PT ete ee habitat loss. Habitat loss is one of the main causes of extinction. Coral Reefs Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. Coral reefs support large numbers of species, including fish, other corals, and a variety of other sea life. Coral reefs are important habitats for living organisms. Coral reefs are also important for tourism. People travel to coral reefs for fishing or diving, providing local hotels, restaurants, and other businesses with visitors and income. Coral Bleaching Coral bleaching happens when water temperatures rise. When water is too warm, corals will get rid of the algae living in their tissues. This causes the coral to turn completely white. Bleaching events stress corals and often they do not survive. Why are healthy habitats important to all organisms in a food web? How might the loss of a coral reef change the ocean or the sea food web?

Activity 8 us Analyze Like a Scientist Plastic Pollution Read the text to learn about the effect of plastics in the marine environment. Discuss what you learned with your class. Then, answer the questions. Large amounts of plastic are thrown in the marine environment every year. Most of it comes from land, plastics affect marine life. Whales, turtles, seabirds, and fish cannot often tell the difference between real food and plastic. For example, a sea turtle cannot see the difference between a jellyfish and a piece of plastic in the water. So, sea turtles eat a lot of plastic thinking that it is jellyfish. Plastic is not nutritious. It can also be toxic and sharp, so it is really bad for animals. Plastic products get broken down into smaller pieces. Some pieces are even smaller than a grain of rice. We call them microplastics. Coral filters the seawater to get its food. When coral does this, it also ingests the microplastics that are as small as the pieces of food that it is getting from the water.

Human activity can cause major changes to the environment. Riverbanks erode when too many plants are removed. Floods may reach farther inland when wetlands are drained. Once harm has been done to the environment, scientists, engineers, and concerned citizens work on restoration. This involves restoring the land and water back to how it was before harm was done. Restoration projects try to repair all parts of the habitat. They try to bring back food and water sources. They also look to recover shelter and space. Most projects are a lot of work and take a long time, but they can have very positive results. Protecting and Rebuilding Coral Reefs One example of restoring a habitat is a coral reef rehabilitation project happening in the Arabian Gulf. Scientists are harvesting small fragments of various coral species and they are moving them to a nursery. The nursery is an area in the ocean where the small pieces of coral are nurtured until they can be moved back to the reefs where they were dying. The healthy coral can then continue growing and reproducing to make a thriving reef again. These scientists in the Arabian Gulf also conduct research and study the best coral species to use for future restoration projects. Coastal communities near the reefs have adopted a  zero plastics  way of life in Egypt. By limiting single-use plastics on land. Construct an argument for why habitat restoration projects and changes in human behavior both are important. Use your understanding of ecosystem changes to support your argument. Then, suggest one way people in your community can help prevent damage to the environment.

Unit Project a, Solve Problems  a Like a Scientist Unit Project: Build a Miniature Ecosystem You have learned a lot about ecosystems. Today, you will begin building a miniature ecosystem. It will be a very small ecosystem, so small that it will fit inside two plastic bottles. Work with your team to consider what you could create in such a small space. Once your teacher has given you materials, build your miniature ecosystem. When it is complete, create a model of the transfer of energy. My Miniature Ecosystem Make a detailed drawing of your miniature ecosystem. Use the labels producer, consumer, and decomposer to identify the different types of organisms in your project. Modeling the Flow of Energy After you have built your ecosystem, think about how energy flows through this ecosystem. Create two diagrams to model this transfer of energy.

Interdisciplinary Project Interdisciplinary Project: Waste Not, Want Not In this interdisciplinary project, you will use your science and math skills to find a solution to a real-world problem. First, you will read a story about a fictional group of characters, called the STEM Solution Seekers. Then, you will study some background information, and you will design, test, and refine a solution to the overall challenge. You will go through the steps of the Engineering Design Process, as shown in the diagram. You will also do some additional work in your math class related to this challenge. Fe Design i  Process The project Waste Not, Want Not challenges you to think about the problem of plastic pollution, especially in waterways. In the story, you will read about a problem that the STEM Solution Seekers observe while walking along a body of water that has been polluted with plastic trash. You will consider ways to reduce the amount of plastic that becomes trash, as well as design and build a product using repurposed plastic.

Waste Not, Want Not Friends Seif, Aya, Nour, and Menna are in Seif s hometown while the projects are being judged.  What is all that stuff floating in the water, Seif?  asks Nour.  Is it some kind of seaweed?  Aya says,  It does not look like seaweed to me. It looks like plastic! Look at all the different colors.   It probably is plastic and other kinds of trash,  Seif replies.  We have a big, big, big problem with trash washing up on the shores. Aya, who has been quiet, adds,  I have heard that this happens in other places of the world too especially down near the ocean. Some of the fish eat the plastic because it looks like food. Other sea creatures get tangled up in the trash.   Oh, | have heard about that,  says Nour.  I believe the Pacific Ocean is full of plastic. It kills all kinds of marine life.  Seif gets excited,  Yes There is plastic from all over the world in the ocean. | heard about a huge island of plastic in the middle of the Pacific Ocean   Did you see the group who presented the trash-eating sea drain at the science fair?  asks Aya.  Such an amazing idea.  Menna exclaims.  | would like to see that on the Mediterranean Sea. Nour considers,  That drain was really great, but | am not sure it is enough to get rid of everything. Also, it only works on stuff that is already in the water. | think people need to do more to keep trash from getting into the ocean in the first place.   Are you talking about recycling, Nour?  Aya asks. Nour has just taken a very big bite of a cookie, so Seif jumps in.  Not just recycling, but also reusing and repurposing and reducing. We produce tons and tons of trash every day. We need to find ways to cut down on what we use and throw away. Too much of it ends up on the streets and in the water.  As he finishes, Seif is nearly Unit 1: Interactions of Organisms 51

Plastic is here forever,  Aya says, reaching for another cookie.  Water bottles and food containers are the worst, | think. But surely we do not need to use a new plastic bottle every time we want more water.   Could you melt down the plastic and make other things with it?  Menna wonders.  Yes,  Nour says,  but that is not the only answer to the problem. We also need to find ways to produce less plastic to begin with. Maybe use paper and wood instead.  Aya says.  I do not think more paper and wood will help. But maybe we could use less and turn the plastic into something else, like . .. building materials?  Seif says,  There are lots of kinds of plastic and lots of kinds of other trash. There must be more ways to recycle and reuse.  The team agrees and begins to make a list of how they might recycle, reuse, and reduce trash.

--- Page 63 ---
How Bad Is Plastic Pollution? How did you use plastic today? People use plastic for everything from food storage to medical devices. However, much of the plastic we use ends up getting thrown away. Plastic bags and water bottles are items that often get tossed into the environment. Plastic, as one form of discarded waste, is especially dangerous to animals. Animals can get tangled in plastic rings or suffocate from eating plastic parts. Minimizing the Impact of plastic pollution Plastic is a common material that we use to package our food, help us transport water, and build structures. We know that we will always use plastic in some form in our lives. This is why humans are considering ways to minimize the impact of plastic on the environment in other ways. Earlier in this concept, you learned about areas in Egypt that have banned single- use plastic. In many places, conservation groups organize volunteers in beach and river cleanups. Volunteers and other people collect plastic trash along the shore. Some people think of ways to reuse their plastic items and containers so that they do not get thrown out to start with. How could you reuse a plastic item in your home and turn it into something you could use again? What other problems could you help solve with your repurposed plastic item? Many Egyptians advocate for people to recycle more of their plastic to help this problem Unit 1: Interactions of Organisms 53

Get Started What I Already Know You might not immediately think of a volcano when you hear the phrase states of matter. Look at the images. Think about what you know about gases, liquids, and solids. Can you find evidence of the different states of matter when observing a volcano? b Write about what you already know about the different states of matter. Use evidence from the different images of volcanoes provided. Cob Talk Together Where else can you easily observe = different states of matter? Share with a partner about places in your home or school where you might observe solids, liquids, or gases. During this unit, you will learn that matter is composed of very small particles that behave differently in solid, liquid or gas form. You will also learn more specific ways to identify, describe, and measure matter. You will learn that matter can change physically (mixing, temperature, and state) as well as chemically (new substances formed). Finally, you will bring together all of your knowledge and apply it to the Unit Project: Slippery Sands. Unit 2: Particles in Motion

Get Started Sands of Time You probably already know a lot about sand. Maybe you have been out in the desert, or perhaps you have spent the day at the beach. Think about what happens when you pick up a handful of sand and let it run between your fingers. Now, picture how sand changes when it mixes with water, such as at the seashore. Sometimes people use sand to keep track of time. An hourglass is a tool that holds sand in one compartment. When the hourglass is set on one end, the sand runs from the top section into the bottom. Consider the following scenario. Ahmed asks his grandmother to make him a boiled egg for breakfast. He watches as she takes a small device filled with sand (small hourglass with sand which measure time) and flips it over, so the sand runs from the top to the bottom of the device. She tells him that when the sand has run out of top, the egg will be done. In this unit, you will describe and measure properties of materials like sand. At the end of this unit, you will be able to Hourglass with Sand describe the properties of sand, including its state of matter, and explain how it may have been used in creating the ancient pyramids. How are different states of matter unique? How can models help us to understand changing states of matter? How can matter be described and measured?

What are the different forms of matter that Lesson WV a | Lea rn can be found in the world around us? yi Activity 4 us Analyze Like a Scientist Matter All matter is made of moving particles. How much these particles move determines the state of matter. Read the text about matter and highlight evidence that you can use to answer the question: What are the different forms of matter that can be found in the world around us? Discuss with your class and share any questions you have with your teacher. What Is Matter? Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. The computer or book that you are using is matter. The juice you drink at breakfast is matter. The air you breathe is matter. Even you are matter. All matter is made up of tiny particles that are in continuous motion. Matter is usually something that we can feel, see, or even smell. Matter takes up space, which means that most of the time we can observe matter to learn more about it. Some matter is too small to see with the human eye. Even things we cannot see, like air or germs, are made up of matter. So, what is matter actually made of? Matter is made up of tiny particles. Your hand, desk, and pencil, for example, are all made up of millions of tiny particles. States of Matter How much the particles are moving determines the state of matter. Light and sound are two examples of things that are not matter. Both of these are considered forms of energy. Common states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. In solid matter, each particle is packed tightly with the others and moves only a little bit. Concept 2.1: Matter in the World around Us 69

What are the different forms of matter that Lea gal can be found in the world around us? Lesson an 2.1 In liquid matter, the particles have more space, have more energy, and move more freely. In a gas, the particles have a lot of space and energy and move very freely. Matter can change from one state to another, and these changes, such as ice melting into water or water freezing into ice, happen all the time. All matter is made up of particles. Matter can exist in three different states. Tables and walls in a classroom are examples of matter in a solid state. Solids keep their shape unless something is done to change them. Liquids can be poured. Liquids do not have a shape of their own but rather take the form of their container. Some matter is found in the form of a gas. The air that we breathe is a gas. The air ina balloon is gas. All gases will completely fill a closed container. An example is when you pump air into a bicycle tire tube. Matter in any form solid, liquid, or gas  takes up space. No two objects can take up the same space at the same time. Measuring and Observing Matter All matter can be measured and observed. For example, you can measure how tall you are with a meterstick or a measuring tape. You can measure how much a puppy weighs using a scale. You can observe air filling up a balloon, and you can measure how much the balloon expands as it fills. You can observe milk being poured into a glass and measure the amount and temperature of that milk.  9: 4, Talk Together Now, talk together about how you could define the = different states of matter. ( Lo: Talk Together Now, talk together about why you think we cannot see with our eyes the individual particles that make up matter.

Activity 5 us Analyze Like a Scientist Particles of Matter Read the text. Then, highlight evidence to support this claim: Particles are called  the building units of matter.  Everything Is Made of Matter Everything around you, even your body, is made up of matter. We define matter as anything that has mass and takes up space. Solids, liquids, and gases are all states of matter. Particles Are Extremely Small Imagine what would happen if you could break down a chunk of matter, like a piece of gold, into pieces. States of Matter The pieces would get so small you could no longer see ee them, even with a microscope. You would end up with y .  s extremely small pieces of matter called particles. There SOLID LIQUID ~ GAS are many different types of particles. Particles in Solids Solids are made of particles. The particles are Solid state Liquid state Gas state packed closely together and cannot move past each other or escape into space. Particles in a solid are packed in a neat and ordered arrangement. that maintain their shape from change as these particles mountain their cohesion in the event of movement or vibration and they do not usually move from one place to another. Particle in liquid Liquid materials consist of particles that are linked with each other by less bonds than in the solid state allowing them to move and move a way from each other which allows the liquids to take the shape of the container in which they are placed and the particles in the liquid state move much faster than the particles in the solid state. Particles in gases Gaseous substances consist of incoherent particles , that can spread to fill any container they are placed in and the particles in the gaseous state move very quickly.

Write or draw a note to your friend describing what happened. In your note, use one or more of the following terms: matter particle solid liquid gas. You and a friend are playing with ice cubes outside on a hot summer day. You are both called away to do a chore and forget to clean up. Several ice cubes are left on a table outside in the sun. When you return several hours later, there are no ice cubes or water left on the table and your friend is puzzled and worried. What happened to the ice cubes? Your student group is developing a model to show how particles make up matter. Your job is to choose an object to represent particles in the model. Which object will you choose? A. syrup C. tiny pieces of paper B. ping pong balls D. a rainbow Now, explain why you chose the objects you did.

Activity 7 us Analyze Like a Scientist Tiny Particle Size Particles can be incredibly tiny. Some are so small that even normal microscopes cannot detect them. Read the text that follows to find out how small particles can be. Next, work with a partner to record information from the text that helps you to support the explanation that tiny particles make up matter. Tiny Particles The exact size of a particle depends on the type , of particle and how it connects with neighboring a. Cee | a ) y rer \ _ *y . y   7 A [a Le bs) a) \ particles. The average size of a particle is so tiny that one of your hairs is about 150,000 to . 300,000 particles thick. .   How Can We See Each Particle? Scientists can use special microscopes called electron microscopes to see individual particles. The microscopes you have in a regular science classroom are not powerful enough to see them. If the tiny size of particles makes them too small to see, even with microscopes, how can we tell they are actually there? Blood Cells under a Microscope How Can We Show That Particles Exist? Examining gases can help demonstrate that these invisible particles really do exist. Think about what happens when you blow up a balloon. Even though the gas in the balloon is invisible, it still is made up of particles of air. The particles in a gas move very quickly. They bounce against the inside of the balloon. This exerts a force that inflates the balloon and creates its round shape. If you squeeze the balloon, you can make it smaller by pushing the particles closer together. But if you squeeze it too hard, the balloon pops, and the particles that were inside escape into the air. Evidence that tiny particles make up matter: Concept 2.1: Matter in the World around Us yk)

Then, discuss what you know about models. A Globe Is a Model All of Earth is too big to see while standing on it. Astronauts can see most of Earth while riding ina spaceship. A globe is a model of Earth. It is not a real planet. A model is a copy that is similar to the real thing. Models look like, move like, or work like what they copy. A globe shows you the shape of Earth. On a globe you can see how much of Earth is covered in ocean and where different countries are located. How Do Models Help Us Look at Big Things? Lots of gigantic things are hard to see. Models can bring them down to size. The solar system is a very big place. Planets are very big objects. A solar system model shows us all the planets at once. It helps us compare them. We can see which planet is biggest and which one is closest to Earth. How Do Models Help Us Look at Small Things? Very tiny things are hard to see too, such as a single grain of sand. Germs are also very tiny. Germs make you sick. We spread germs around, but we can only see them with microscopes. Models of germs can show you what they look like without a microscope. You can see the different parts that help germs spread from one person to another. Models Help Us Understand How Things Work What makes a volcano explode? Why does an airplane fly? Models can show us. Model volcanoes ooze liquid to model what happens during a real eruption. A model airplane flies up into the air. So does a real airplane. Models are not the same as the real thing, but every model teaches us something about the real thing it copies. Models help us see and understand how things work. They show us what we could not otherwise see. Models are a great way to see and learn about many things at just the right size.

Think about the times you have seen or helped prepare food by cooking. Perhaps you have seen an adult boil some water to cook pasta or rice. Did you see the steam? That is water as a gas. Maybe there were some frozen vegetables added to the meal. Freezing vegetables keeps them fresh and ready to use for longer periods of time. Have you ever guessed what was for dinner just by the smell, or aroma, coming from the kitchen? Think about what state of matter helps us perceive aromas.

Add your notes to your placemat. Physical Properties of Matter Matter has many properties that you can describe. Color, shape, odor, and texture are examples of physical properties that you can observe with your five senses. You can use words such as rough, blue, floral, round, and sweet to describe these A Burning Match properties. Chemical Properties of Matter The ability to burn and the ability to rust are properties that describe how matter interacts with other matter. These are called chemical properties. An important feature of chemical properties is that they are only measurable by changing the material. For example, a chemical property of paper is that it is flammable. When paper is lit on fire, it becomes ash. The image shows a burning match. What kind of property is the ability to burn?

--- Page 97 ---
Properties of Matter, continued Volume and Mass Volume and temperature are properties of matter that you can measure. Volume is the amount of space that matter takes up. Scientists measure volume in liters (L), milliliters (mL), or cubic centimeters (cm?). One liter equals 1,000 milliliters or 1,000 cubic centimeters (1 L = 1,000 mL = 1,000 cm ). A big bottle of soda or juice that you might buy for a party can hold 1L or more. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter. Scientists often measure mass in grams (g) or kilograms (kg). A paperclip has a mass of about 1 gram. One kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams (1 kg = 1,000 g). One liter of water has a mass of 1 kilogram. Temperature Recall that matter is made up of particles in motion. Temperature is a measure of how quickly the particles in a substance are moving. Quickly moving particles can give off more heat energy than slower moving particles. Concept 2.2: Describing and Measuring Matter Fi

Activity 8 us Analyze Like a Scientist Useful Properties of Matter In this activity, you will read about the useful properties of helium, copper, and glass. You might not know very much about these materials at this point. After you read the passage, consider other uses for a variety of different materials. Helium Have you ever seen a party balloon, such as the one pictured? Helium is a gas that is used to fill balloons. Its properties make it useful for this purpose. For example, a balloon filled with helium gas is lighter than air. This means balloons filled with helium rise up in the air. This is a physical property of helium. Also, helium is not poisonous or flammable, so it is safe to use. (A flammable material is easily set on fire.) Both of these are examples of chemical properties. Copper Maybe you have seen a copper cooking pot or a copper wire. Copper is a metal commonly used to make electrical wires. Its physical properties make it useful for this purpose. Copper can be stretched into a thin, flexible wire, which is a physical property. Copper also conducts electricity well, which is another physical property called conduction. Conduction is when heat or electricity can easily pass through a substance. In contrast, it would not be useful to make wires out of a material like wood.

After reading about the interaction of matter and heat energy, think about how you could model particle motion using marbles or another physical representation. Imagine you could shrink to the scale of the tiny particles that make up matter and move around in a cup of tea. Write about or draw what you would experience. Particles in Motion Thermal Energy Heat is a form of energy you use every day. You heat your hands in front of a fireplace and cook bread in a hot oven. You use heat to warm your home. Heat from the sun keeps living things on Earth alive. Heat is not a physical thing or material, like a cup of hot tea. It is simply a form of energy that can make tea hot. Heat is also known as thermal energy. Matter Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Tea, like all matter, is made of extremely small particles. These particles have energy. [his energy makes the particles move, vibrate, and spin around. When light energy or thermal energy is absorbed by matter, the particles in the matter move and vibrate faster. The faster this movement, the more thermal energy the object has. The more thermal energy the object has, the warmer it is to the touch. It is important to remember that the particles that make up matter are always moving in some way. Hot Cup of Tea How can marbles or other visible particles act as a model to describe and explain some of the properties and behavior of matter? Write or draw your ideas.

What happens to the mass of a substance when it sa PC Learn y is heated, cooled, or mixed with other substances? Activity 4 us Analyze Like A Scientist Temperature and State of Matter You observed how chocolate can melt into a liquid and then form back into a solid. How does that happen? Read the text. Underline evidence that you can use to answer the Can You Explain? question. A substance s state depends partly on its temperature. A substance s temperature is a measure of how much energy the particles in that substance have. It is the energy of the particles that determine how much they move and, therefore, the state of the matter. How Water Changes State For example, water is a liquid between 0 C and 100 C. Water becomes a solid when it is cooled below 0 C, which is its freezing point. Its state changes from liquid to solid. As the particles of liquid water lose energy, they slow down until the liquid water becomes solid ice. Melting Melting is the opposite process. Melting is the change of state from solid to liquid. It happens when energy is transferred to a solid. For example, as particles of solid ice gain energy, they move around more. Eventually they move around enough that the ice begins ; to melt. Melting happens when Frozen Treats Changing State the temperature of ice rises above 0 C.

--- Page 109 ---
Physical Changes Changes of state are often caused by changes in temperature. Changes of state are physical changes. Physical changes do not change the makeup of a substance. They are also usually reversible. For example, melting is a physical change that can be reversed by cooling liquid water until it freezes again. The water is still water. It is the same substance whether it is liquid or solid, even though it looks different. Increasing or decreasing temperature can also cause chemical changes. Think about the chocolate you observed in the Hands-On Investigation: Changing States of Matter. Fill in the graphic organizer provided. Draw a model of the chocolate before you applied heat. Draw a model of the chocolate after you applied heat. In the box at the bottom, write an explanation for the changes you observed.

What happens to the mass of a substance when it sa PC Learn y is heated, cooled, or mixed with other substances? Activity 5 a Observe Like a Scientist What s the Matter? Changing States Matter can exist in three states: solid, liquid, and gas. How can we change matter from one state to another? Can we change it back again? Complete the interactive What's the Matter? Changing States, read the text passage, and answer the questions. Water can exist in three states: solid, liquid, or gas. Water as a solid is called ice. Water as a gas is called water vapor or steam. When the temperature of a substance goes up, the particles move and vibrate a lot more. The extra energy allows the particles to change to a different state. When the temperature goes down, the particles slow down and move together. STATES OF MATTER SOLID LIQUID GAS TD Changing a Liquid to a Gas Imagine you are in a kitchen. Picture a container of water sitting on a counter. If you add heat, or thermal energy, by placing the container of liquid water on a hot stove burner, the particles vibrate and separate. The liquid water boils away. It changes to water vapor and is invisible in the air. The white, cloudlike mist coming from boiling water is steam. After the hot water vapor hits the cooler air, it condenses into tiny water droplets, forming a small cloud, which we call steam. Bice ditm | can share ideas | am not yet sure about.

--- Page 111 ---
Changing a Gas to a Liquid To change the gas, water vapor, back into a liquid, you must cool the gas. Cooling the gas transfers the energy back to the cooler environment. The particles slow down and form a liquid. If it is cold outside, you can see water droplets from the steam form on a window. You can use a rubber wiper to collect the water droplets into a container. Changing a Liquid to a Solid Take the liquid water container and place it into the freezer. By transferring energy from the liquid water to the space in the freezer, the particles slow down and move even closer together. You just changed liquid water to solid water, or ice. Changing a Solid to a Liquid Place the container with ice cubes back onto the hot stove burner. The thermal energy, in the form of heat from a stove burner, causes the particles to move more and separate. This changes the solid to a liquid. Matter can change from one state to another when thermal energy is gained or lost. Describe what happens to liquid water when it is heated (gaining thermal energy). How does this change affect particle movement? Describe what happens to liquid water when you remove heat (remove thermal energy}. How does this change affect particle movement? Describe what happens to solid ice when it is heated (gaining thermal energy). How does this change affect particle movement? Concept 2.3: Comparing Changes in Matter 101

Activity 6 OD Analyze Like a Scientist Mixtures Mixtures are absolutely everywhere you look. Most things in nature are mixtures. Read the text Then, consider how you might go about separating the parts of some mixtures. A mixture is a form of matter made of two or more substances. A mixture is different from a compound. A compound is also a form of matter made of two or more substances, but the parts combine chemically to form a completely new substance. In a mixture, each substance keeps its own identity. In other words, mixing the substances does not change them into new substances. A mixture can be made of solids, such as a mixture of sand and small rocks. Or it can include a combination of a solid and a liquid, such as salt water. Earth s atmosphere is a mixture of many gases.

Mixture of Nuts Compare a mixture of different types of nuts with a mixture of gases. Both are types of mixtures, and both have different parts. But you can easily see the different parts in the mixture of nuts. You would need special equipment to see the parts in a mixture of gases. Can you think of other common mixtures you ; od Mixture of Nuts encounter in your daily life? Properties of Mixtures When materials are mixed and form a mixture, they do not combine chemically. Each material keeps the properties that you can use to identify it. For example, sugar does not lose its sweetness when it is mixed with water. Separating Mixtures emis You can separate the parts of a mixture. There are different methods to separate mixtures. Filtration can separate mixtures. A filter works if one material is a solid that does not dissolve in the liquid. Evaporation can separate solids dissolved in a liquid. This works because the liquid will evaporate at different temperatures. (  9: P Talk Together Think about two of the mixtures that you = just read about: the mixture of nuts and the sugar water.

Activity 9 us Analyze Like a Scientist Chemical Changes Any time a new substance is made, a chemical change takes place. Usually, two or more materials are combined, and a new substance is formed. Read the text. Look for the changes. Then, answer the questions that follow. A chemical change produces a new kind of substance. The new substance is different physically from the original substance. However, it also has different chemical properties. Examples of Chemical Changes For example, the elements iron and oxygen combine to form rust. Rust is a flaky, reddish chemical called iron oxide. You may have seen rust on the outside of a vehicle or on an old nail. When oxygen combines with carbon and hydrogen, they release heat that can start a fire. The fire can change a substance such as wood into ash. Mixing vinegar with baking Te soda produces a gas as bubbles form. Rust on Car Chemicals produced in your body help food digest. Unlike physical changes, chemical changes are not reversed easily. Chemical changes are happening around us all the time. Iron toys left out in the rain become rusty, and cookies in the oven become baked. Think about which chemical changes were described in the text and answer the question that follows.

What happens to the mass of a substance when it aaa rete 5 is heated, cooled, or mixed with other substances? MI ction Activity 12 CD Analyze Like a Scientist Plenty of Water, but None to Drink Throughout this unit, you have explored how matter can change states. You learned the difference between physical and chemical changes to matter. Consider what you have learned as you read a text about a process that can turn a bucket of salt water into a bottle of drinking water. You may have heard about people stranded at sea. They have water all around them, but they are still ais ee in danger of dying from thirst. The reason that they a " cannot just take a big sip from the sea is simple: | ee seawater is salt water. Drinking salt water makes a person dehydrate, or lose water, faster. However, if the stranded people were able to separate a mixture, they would have all the drinking water they need. A Tricky Mixture You know that a mixture is a combination of materials. Seawater is a mixture of water, salt and other minerals, gases, and living and dead organisms. The only component that a living organism wants is fresh water. So, how do you separate the water from all the other materials? First, it would be a good idea to filter the seawater. Filtering removes any large materials that might be in the mixture. These materials might be pieces of seaweed, shells, and fish. The water, salts, minerals, and gases would still pass through the filter, though, so the mixture would still be undrinkable.

--- Page 123 ---
The next step is to boil the seawater that passes through the filter. As it boils, the water turns to vapor and rises out of the mixture. The salts and other minerals stay behind. You can use a sponge to trap the water vapor that rises into the air from the boiling water. When the water vapor cools, it turns back into a liquid. The water in the sponge is safe to drink. Problem Solver or Problem Starter? The process of removing salt from water is called desalination. Desalination is important, and not just to people who are stranded at sea. In some countries that do not have access to fresh water, desalination plants separate billions of liters of drinking water from seawater daily. For example, Egypt currently has over 80 desalination plants. Desalination Plant Many people around the world lack access to fresh water. On a planet with a surface around 70 percent covered by oceans, it would be great if we could just turn salt water into fresh water everywhere. However, desalinization requires a lot of energy. It is very expensive. There are also environmental problems that can come from turning salt water into drinking water. Small sea life can be sucked up with the water. Pumping the excessively salty water back into the ocean can be dangerous to marine life. @) Talk Together Many different people are involved in =~ desalination. Talk through the process with a partner. Make a list of careers that are involved in the process of changing salt water to drinking water. Concept 2.3: Comparing Changes in Matter

Unit Project =. Solve Problems  3 Like a Scientist Unit Project: Slippery Sands Have you ever been asked to help move a heavy box? If it were too heavy to carry, how could you move it? Scientists and historians have been wondering how the ancient Egyptians were able to move very large blocks of stone. A clue may have been discovered in the artwork of ancient Egyptians. Building the Pyramids Slippery Sands How did the ancient Egyptians move very heavy, large blocks of stone across the desert sands? Today, we use cranes or other heavy machinery to lift and move heavy objects. How was it done before these machines existed? Many scientists and historians have tried to find the answer to this question. Historians Historians have looked at the hieroglyphics and paintings of ancient Egyptians for clues. One wall painting of the moving of Djehutyhotep s colossus may offer a theory. In the painting, a person is seen pouring a liquid from a jar in front of the sled. For years, historians believed that this was related to a holy cleansing ceremony. Scientists Scientists looked at the painting in a different way. What if the person pouring the liquid in front of the sled was doing it for another reason? Scientists had a theory that maybe they were adding water to the sand to make the sand more slippery, so they could move the statue more easily. Pushing a sled in the sand typically causes the sand to pile up in front of the sled. When one substance rubs over another, there is friction. Friction can slow objects down by resisting movement. Properties of Sand So, why would adding water reduce friction? Sand particles are often rough with strong angles and edges. When water is added to sand, it forms bridges that

--- Page 125 ---
connect the particles to one another. This is why damp sand sticks together and you can shape and curve it. You can even make sandcastles with it. If you pack down wet sand, water will drain quickly out of it, creating a more solid clump. Testing the Theory Scientists from the Netherlands, France, Germany, Iran, and India came together to conduct an experiment to test this theory. They searched for just the right amount of water to make moving a heavy object on sand easier. What materials do you need? (per group) |   Sand   Balance   Water   Tray   String   Heavy wood block or brick > |   Graduated cylinder or measuring   Spring scale (optional) cup . * Spray bottle (optional) In this activity, you will investigate how water can be used to make sand more slippery. Your task is to design an investigation, collect and share your data, and analyze the results to explain how water can affect the properties of sand. What Will You Do? With your partner, decide on the question you will answer in this investigation. Record your question. With your partner, discuss possible hypotheses that provide an answer to your investigative question. Record one hypothesis that you will test in this investigation. % Discuss the procedure that you will follow in your investigation. Write out the steps.
