This document provides an overview of 6th grade science concepts about matter and energy. It defines matter as anything that has mass and takes up space, and describes the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. It explains that matter is made up of pure substances or mixtures. Mixtures can be separated using various methods like filtration, evaporation, distillation, or decantation. Changes in states of matter, like melting, boiling, condensation and solidification, occur when matter is heated or cooled. It also introduces different types of energy like mechanical, chemical, electrical, light, nuclear, and thermal energy. Energy can be either potential or kinetic.

1. 6th GRADE
SCIENCE

2. COMPOSITION OF
MATTER
 Matter is everything around you.
 MATTER IS ANYTHING THAT HAS MASS AND TAKES UP
SPACE.
 Matter is made up of one or more substances which consist of tiny
particles, called atoms.

3. All things are made of matter: our bodies, a notebook, a
pen, a flower, the air, the water, etc.

4. SOLID
SOLIDS HAVE WEIGHT AND TAKE UP SPACE.

5. LIQUID
LIQUIDS HAVE WEIGHT AND TAKE UP SPACE.

6. GAS
 GASES HAVE WEIGHT AND TAKE UP SPACE.

7. TYPES OF MATTER
There are two types of matter:
PURE SUBSTANCES. They contain only one type of
component. They cannot be separated into other substances.

8. TYPES OF MATTER
MIXTURES. The mix of two or more pure substances.

9. TYPES OF MIXTURES
 HETEROGENEOUS MIXTURES. The different components can be
distinguished.
 HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURES. The different components cannot be
distinguished.

10. SEPARATION OF MIXTURES
 Depending on the type of mixture, different methods of separation can be used.
 FILTRATION
 EVAPORATION
 DISTILLATION
 DECANTATION

11. This is a more common method of separating an insoluble solid
from a liquid in a heterogeneous mixtures. Or solids with different
sizes.

12. Evaporation is used to separate solids from liquids in homogeneous
mixtures.

13.  Distillation uses boiling to separate liquid solutions in homogeneous mixtures.

14. Decantation is used to separate substances of different density in
heterogeneous mixtures.

16.  Matter exists in three different states: solid, liquid and gaseous.
 HEATING or COOLING can cause changes of state.

18. HEATING MATTER
MELTING: when a solid substance turns into a liquid.
VAPORIZATION: when a liquid substance turns into a gas.
 EVAPORATION: liquid does not boil.
 BOILING: liquid reaches a certain temperature.
SUBLIMATION: when a solid substance turns into a gas.

19. COOLING MATTER
 CONDENSATION: when a gas turns into a liquid.
 SOLIDIFICATION: when a liquid turns into a solid.
 REVERSE SUBLIMATION : when a gas turns into a solid.

20. MELTING BOILING

21. MELTING BOILING
 MELTING POINT is the temperature at which something becomes a liquid.
 BOILING POINT is the temperature at which something becomes a gas.
Water has a melting point of 0ºC.
This means that at 0ºC, water
changes from a solid to a liquid.
Water has a boiling point of
100ºC.
This means that at 100ºC, water
changes from a liquid to a gas.

22.  Chemical changes happen when the original matter transforms into
other new substances.
TYPES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS
 OXIDATION
 COMBUSTION
 FERMENTATION

23. • OXIDATION: when a metal substance combine with water and oxygen.
• COMBUSTION: when a substance is burned. This reaction needs
oxygen. They produce carbon dioxide, light and heat.

24. • FERMENTATION: this reaction happens in some living things.
Fermentation occurs when yeast and bacteria inside the dough
convert carbohydrates to carbon dioxide causing gas bubbles.

25. It is the ability to work or cause change.
Energy is everything that produces changes in things.
It is invisible.
It does not have a volume or a mass, so energy is NOT
MATTER.
Energy only TRANSFORMS.

26.  MECHANICAL ENERGY
 CHEMICAL ENERGY
 ELECTRICAL ENERGY
 LIGHT ENERGY
 NUCLEAR ENERGY
 THERMAL ENERGY

27. Energy in MOTION.
 POTENTIAL ENERGY
 It is when the energy is stored up in the object.
 This energy is ready to use.
 The object does not move
 KINETIC ENERGY
 It is when an object moves.
 Every moving object has Kinetic energy.

28.  Chemical Energy is energy caused by chemical reactions. /STORED
ENERGY.
 FOOD Mechanical and Thermal energy
 FUEL Mechanical energy or Electrical energy
 BATTERY Electrical energy

29.  Electrical Energy comes from tiny charged particles called
electrons.
 Electrical energy is when electricity creates motion, light or heat.

30.  Light energy COMES from light sources, such as the Sun or light
bulbs.

31.  Nuclear energy is stored in some substances, NUCLEAR FUELS,
such as uranium and plutonium.

32.  Thermal energy is the energy in an object related to its
temperature.
 The higher the temperature of an object, the greater its thermal
energy.
