This nine weeks we will be studying the different __**properties of matter**__. 
=== Here, you will find lots of cool stuff relating to matter. Check out this COOL website to learn more about matter! Click on the tab, "sing"! Sing along as you learn! [|StudyJams-Matter] ===

===  **In this unit, we will... **
 * Recall that matter is made up of particles too small to be seen.
 * Compare the physical properties of the states of matter (including volume, shape, and the movement and spacing of particles).
 * Summarize the characteristics of a mixture, recognizing a solution as a kind of mixture.
 * Use the processes of filtration, sifting, magnetic attraction, evaporation, chromatography, and floatation to separate mixtures.
 * Explain how the solute and the solvent in a solution determine the concentration.
 * Explain how temperature change, particle size, and stirring affect the rate of dissolving.
 * Illustrate the fact that when some substances are mixed together, they chemically combine to form a new substance that cannot easily be separated.
 * Explain how the mixing and dissolving of foreign substances is related to the pollution of the water, air, and soil.
