Monday, February 24
What we did in class today: We reviewed for the Big Three test which will be given in class next Monday.
What to do if you missed class today: Copy the notes below in a spot in your notebook called “The Big Three Review.” Let Mr. Jamsa know if you have any questions.
THE BIG THREE——————-
Matter Cycles
Matter (ANYTHING with mass or volume; ANY solid, liquid or gas)
Matter moves around – changes form (solid, liquid, gas) – goes through physical and chemical changes.
Matter never created or destroyed – can be used forever
You need to start with matter and then end up again somehow with the same matter – you need to make a CIRCLE. The matter you started with is used for the same thing at the end.
Energy Flows
Energy (chemical; mechanical; electrical; sound; nuclear; thermal; light)
-Energy changes from one type to another.
–As energy changes form, some of it will turn to heat. And is LOST. Useless! Always
(HINT: If there is movement, that heat will be generated by FRICTION – two surfaces rubbing against each other)

Life Webs/ Interdependence
Life Systems are connected – you affect one, you affect the other. And you affect yourself.
Describe an event and what happens afterward as a
result. The original act affects others and comes back.
Show how a group action’s impacts each member of the group and a consequence if
just one member does something different.
This works with different systems – group of people, members of an ecosystem, a single system like a radio or human body.
