Physics, Matter and Energy
Thursday, August 28
Physics is about
finding the simplest
and least
complicated
explanation for
things.
By the end of the day…
• I will be able to define energy.
• I will be able to compare and contrast
matter vs. mass.
• I will be able to classify an item as
matter or energy.
• I will be able to explain if light is matter
or energy.
Matter vs Energy Activity
Two cards will be given to each table.
You will then have two minutes to
decide if your card is matter, energy,
both or neither.
You will then be asked to explain your
reason.
What is Physics, Matter and Energy?
• With your table you are going to take
turns reading paragraphs from section
1.1 in the CPO science text book.
• As you read fill in the blanks from the
worksheet.
Revisit Matter vs Energy Activity
• You have 1 min to go and move any
card that you believe is in the wrong
place.
• You will have to explain why you are
moving that card.
Write the complete word list in
categories
On the back of the worksheet.
How am I doing on the daily goals…
• I will be able to define energy.
• I will be able to compare and contrast
matter vs. mass.
• I will be able to classify an item as
matter or energy.
• I will be able to explain if light is matter
or energy.
On the page behind the worksheet…
• Write an answer to each question IN
YOUR OWN WORDS!!!
• After you have written an answer trade
notebooks and read theirs.
• Discuss anything you do not believe to
be correct.
• Discuss anything you really like in
theirs.
• Make any needed changes or additions.
Define matter
Define energy
Explain what light is.
Draw these two pictures and explain
what they mean in your own words.
What is needed to create change?
Compare and contrast mass and
matter.
What property does matter have that
energy does not?
What is studied in physics?
