Standard+D+Physical+Science

// **Content Standard:** Students in Wisconsin will demonstrate an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of matter, the forms and properties of energy, and the ways in which matter and energy interact. // // Knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of matter and energy is basic to an understanding of the earth and space, life and environmental, and physical sciences. The properties of matter can be explained in terms of the atomic structure of matter. Chemical reactions can be explained and predicted in terms of the atomic structure of matter. Natural events are the result of interactions of matter and energy. When students understand how matter and energy interact, they can explain and predict chemical and physical changes that occur around them. //

Leilei SongTitle: what causes a sonic boom?Link : [] Title: How speakers work? Link : [] Description: Howstuffworks web site covers all sorts of questions about how things works. It is a great site for student to find out the answer for their questions. These two links are the only samples for the physics of sounds unit. It could be used on any topic. Grade: K-8

Annie Anderson
 * Title**: Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter
 * Link**: []
 * Description**: This is a simple and straight forward video that illustrates and explains that matter can change between a solid, a liquid, and a gas; as well as how those changes occur: melting, boiling, condensing, and freezing.
 * Grade**: 2-8

Melissa Millard
 * Title:** How Things Fly!
 * Link:** @http://airandspace.si.edu/education/pubs/howthingsfly.pdf
 * Description:** Created by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, this resource delves into the properties of air and flight for kids to further explore how objects can become and remain airborne despite gravity and friction. Fun activities with examples that should easily build onto existing knowledge and stimulate curiosity.
 * Grade:** 6-8

Kari Reuter
 * Title:** Physical and Chemical Changes
 * Link:** []
 * Description:** Brainpopjr.com is a subscription website (portions are free) where videos, games, quizzes and activites are presented to grades K-3 in a manner understandable to them. This video explains physical and chemical changes by giving real-life examples to students using a short video. It helps young students understand the difference between physical and chemical changes.
 * Grades:** K-3


 * Andy Meeks**
 * Title:** Make Me Genius Video: Changes in Matter
 * Link http://www.makemegenius.com/video_play.php?id=86**
 * Description:** Simple and incredibly easy to understand cartoons that explore science topics. This particular cartoon looks at Changes in Matter, and explores the topic in depth from what it is, to why/how it happens. Its often hard to find science materials that appeal and cater to the younger students, but this cartoon does exactly that.
 * Grade: K-4**

Michelle Arnett
 * Title:** Science Spot
 * Link:** []
 * Description:** This is an absolutely awesome resource for ideas, puzzles, experiments, worksheets, and ideas about science. I used this website a lot while teaching 8th grade science relating to chemistry, physics, and other physical sciences.
 * Grade:** K-8

Amy Rice **Title:** Changes – A Science Rap **Link:** [] **Description:** This fun song and animation highlights a number of physical changes and chemical changes that occur on a family trip to the beach. The kids will love to sing along with this educational rap, set to an island sound. **Grades:** K-2

Nicole Ann Isaacs
 * Title: ** Molecularium
 * Link: ** []
 * Description: ** Students explore an interactive website which allows them to build, zoom and transform different types of matter on molecular levels. The site is narrated with useful molecular facts and has fantastic graphics and games. It is fun and promotes science inquiry with fantastic games!
 * Grades: ** 6-8

Mike Weber
 * Standard D**
 * Title:** Properties of Matter
 * Link:** http://www.science-class.net/Chemistry/properties.htm
 * Description**: Very cool website that has an abundance of resources for many science topics. This page focuses on the properties of matter. It includes warm-ups, activities, graphic organizers, review and study guides, and much more.
 * Grades:** 5-9

Siggy Spelter
 * Title:** Physics Fun Game
 * Link:** http://familyfun.go.com/playtime/language-learning-games/physics-fun-706613/2/
 * Description**: This site features a list of relatively simple experiments that you can do at home or at school, as well as a detailed explanation as to why they happen. The explanation definitely helped me, as I didn't always understand the full rationale behind why some of the events occurred.
 * Grades**: K-6

Sara Kowle
 * Title:** States of Matter: Making Ice Cream
 * Link:@http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/downloads/ed_1ssIceCream.pdf**
 * Description:** In this lesson, first graders explore states of matter by making ice cream. Students work in groups to make ice cream, stopping to describe and discuss each ingredient in terms of its state and how it combines with other ingredients - into what state, and whether it constitutes a reversible or irreversible change (a discussion you could enrich by adding terms for physical vs chemical change, or suspension vs solution, etc.). There is a worksheet for students to describe ingredients in these terms in writing after the lesson. A very engaging way of talking about states of matter!
 * Grade:** 1st

Michelle Sasse
 * Title:** Mrs. Douthard's Directory - Physical Science
 * Link:** [] and []
 * Description:** These websites offers a variety of physical science topics and links. Some of the topics include chemistry, mechanics, electricity, magnetism, energy, and waves. The links offer information about the topics, experiments, power points, video clips, and lesson plans for teachers. They also offer energy games and tools for students.
 * Grade:** 2-6
