6. Scientific Approach
Make an observation
Ask a question
Develop a hypothesis
Test hypothesis with an experiment Revise

experiments
Hypothesis is Hypothesis is
supported not supported
Develop theory
7. Safety
While in the lab, never:
Run, jump, or take part in any sort
of horse play
Leave your hair down.
Leave a flame unattended
Eat food or taste something which
is being tested
8. Elements
An element is a pure substance
which can be broken down and
still have the same properties.
Ex: Gold, Hydrogen, Iron, oxygen
9. Mixtures
A mixture is a combination of two
or more substances.
A homogenous mixture is a mixture
in which all substances are evenly
distributed.
A heterogeneous mixture has layers,
or unevenly mixed elements.

11. Solutions, Suspensions,
and Colloids
When a substance is dissolved in another
substance, what results is a solution.
A suspension is formed when two
substances of different densities are mixed,
and one is suspended above the other.
A colloid is a mixture of particles of
different sizes which mix unevenly.
12. Physical Properties
Physical properties are properties
that can be observed.
These are things such as viscosity,
conductivity, malleability, hardness
and density.
16. The Difference
Between Chemical
To be a physical property something
needs to be able to be observed
without energy.
A chemical property involves either
fire, heat, or electricity.
17. Chemical Changes
Change in color: this is when an
object reacts with the environment,
like bananas.
Production of gas: when a mixture
begins bubbling and releases any
sort of gas.
Formation of precipitate: when a
mixture curdles, like milk mixed
with lemon juice.
18. Question #1

19. Question #2
What is the physical property
involving brittleness called?
a) Viscosity
b) Malleability
