Mission 2: All that Stuff!! What is the difference between substances, mixtures, elements and compounds? This video answers this question in part, but then cheapened out and cut off in mid-sentence. But you'll get the idea.
Mission 3: What's the Matter? Paul Anderson of Bozeman Science gives you an overview of matter. What is it, what does it do, where you can find it, all that information. I actually met him; he's awesome.
9/1 Homework: Make sure you complete all three missions. Review pages 3 - 9. There are no questions to answer, but be sure you review the material and come in with questions.
Mission 4: A Million Little Pieces. So what's the deal with all this stuff? It's so much, it's too big...why is distinguishing it so important? Why does it matter (get it?)? Well, take a look here and then we'll go here to find out why. And while we're at it, we shall bask in the glory that is the Periodic Table of Elements.
Mission 5: Chemistry is about how matter changes, so let's get into that with Mr. Causey.
