All About Matter

In science we have been learning about matter as a means of bridging the science of physics to the science of chemistry.  And what is matter?  Matter is essentially stuff, it is what the physical universe is made of, all the substances and materials that make up you, me, the planets, galaxies, and you get the picture.    To be more specific, we have been learning about solids, liquids, and gases and studying how they behave under certain conditions.  We have learned about the changing states of matter as they go from one phase to the next in addition to understanding the movement and densities.  In fact, I would say you have learned a lot in this past month.  AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS…. Duhn duhn duhn…. TEST time.  Don’t worry, you are all doing such a fantastic job of asking questions and coming to tutoring when you need it, I am sure you will get the grade you want on the test. 

In class you will be given the Unit 1 “All About Matter” chapter to read from the IGCSE CHEMISTRY book.  The information is similar to the chapters you have been reading from the IGCSE PHYSICS book, but I feel the Chem book does a better job of explaining information.  Please study Unit 1 for the test that you will take on Mon/Tues.   Get plenty of sleep, read the chapter, know the vocab, and answer the questions.  With those tools, you will be ready to ACE the test.  Good luck!
