Matter and how it works.

http://www.intechopen.com/source/html/41410/media/image19.png

     The four states of matter are solid, liquid, plasma and gas. First it starts as a solid. A solid is the part of matter when their's almost no energy and the energy particles are clumped together. Solids have a definite size and shape. Then when the energy particles get farther apart they move faster and faster then it turns into a liquid. This process is called Melting. 

     Once the solid has melted it turns into a liquid. A liquid is the state of matter where the energy particles are still close but not as close to each other as the solid was and they are moving faster and getting faster as they move away from each other. A liquid takes the shape of it's container. Then when the energy particles start moving farther and farther away they get faster and faster. Then the energy particles get so fast and so far away that they turn into a Gas. This process is called Evaporation.

     Once the liquid has evaporated it turns into a gas. A gas it the state of matter when the energy particles are moving very fast and are very far apart from each other. Gas has no definite size or shape. Gas takes up as much room as it possibly can. Then when the energy particles get faster and get farther away they turn into plasma. This process is called Lionization.

I explained Matter and energy through my work by talking about matter and how it works in my note book. This helps me understand matter because it tells me all about matter whenever I need it. It also helps me because it explains why matter is important and what it is (everything that is made out of atoms and particles).

M&M experements

When you put an M&M in a plate full of water will it dissolve? In order to find this out you will need to have a plate, a plastic cup, a M&M, and a flat surface. To start the experiment you will need to put the plate on the flat surface then you will fill the cup with water and put it in the plate then you will put the M&M in observe. So, did it dissolve?

Do other colors dissolve faster than others? In order o find this out you will need a flat surface, different colors of M&M's, as many plates as M&M's with two circles on it, a ruler, and a plastic cup. To start put the plate on the flat surface. Then fill the cup with water and fill one plate and then repeat till all plates are filled. Then you put one M&M in and start counting once it reaches the first circle measure how many centimeters till the next circle and keep counting. Once it has reached the last circle you divide the amount of time ( in seconds) by the area it traveled in Centimeters. The answer that you get is the speed, repeat. So, do some colors dissolve faster than others.

In class we asked two scientific questions. The first scientific question is do M&M's dissolve in water. We found out in our experiment that they do. The second scientific question that we asked is do certain colors of M&M's dissolve faster than others the answer is no. Even though one dissolved like a tenth faster that is like no difference so the answer is no.

Weather

Fronts are what happens when cold air and hot air met. What you would need to make a front is hot air and cold air. This makes a front because the cold air comes and pushes up the warm air. When this happens the weather it probably not going to be on your side. A warm front is when you are on the side that the warm air is, a cold front is where you are on the side where the cold air is. 

High and low pressure systems are what controls clouds. When you are in high pressure you will have little to no clouds. Why is their little to no clouds? This happens because the high pressure squeezes the water in the air so it can't expand and make clouds. When it is high pressure you can expect it to be sunny and warm. When you are in low pressure you can expect cloudy skies. Why are there lots of clouds? There are lots of clouds because the low pressure allows the water molecules to expand and make clouds. You can also expect storms and cold temperatures. 

Have you ever wondered how weather forms? Well if you have you came to the right place. Weather forms by using high and low pressure systems, fronts, the water cycle, and wind. One of the main things that keeps our weather going is the convention current. This is the way that the wind blows, In a circle. The warm air goes up and to the side then it cools and goes down to the opposite side and repeats.

In class we made a cloud in a soda bottle. This helped me with understanding how low pressure and high pressure effect the weather. I also helped me learn how clouds are made and what you need to make them. It also helped me understand why clouds usually form over firers.

The storms move west to east. When air presure is high you can expect cold tempustures. Photosinthis needs glucose and oxygen. When air pressur eis low it is cloudy and rainy.Answer A
