Compounds and Mixtures Background Information

__Compounds__ are chemicals made from atoms of different elements joined by chemical bonds. They can only be separated by a chemical reaction. A __mixture__ is made from molecules of elements and compounds that are simply mixed together, without chemical bonds. Mixtures can be separated using techniques such as filtration, chromatography , evaporation and distillation.

We are finished with our Newton's Laws of Motion unit and will now begin to __#|study__ about the Solar System. We have just a few frameworks to cover but I have some fun lessons planned for us. I have listed all the Space Science Frameworks below:

ESS.10.7.1 Identify and model the causes of night and day ESS.10.7.2 Compare and contrast Earth’s day to those of other planets in our solar system ESS.10.7.3 Identify and model the cause of planetary years ESS.10.7.4 Compare and contrast Earth’s year to those of other planets in our solar system ESS.10.7.5 Identify and model the causes of seasons ESS.10.7.6 Investigate careers, scientists, and historical breakthroughs related to rotations and revolutions of bodies in space

Check out the website below to learn about the planets in our solar system. Be sure to pay close attention to the graphs and charts and see what you can interpret.

Today we need to review separations of mixtures before we can move onto Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Take a look at the slideshow below. List and describe the types of separation discussed in the slideshow. media type="custom" key="12413926"

Today we will identify Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Later, we will analyze them in greater detail. Check out the following website to learn the basics about Newton's Laws.
