Instructions for note cards – do them properly and earn a 20% bonus on the test (maximum 100%)
1) Put one column on one side, the other column on the other side of the note card
2) Add a picture of symbol to every card (except the element cards)
3) Add color to all of them – make them look good

Neutron | In nucleus, weighs 1, no charge |
Reduce | Use less of material to begin with |
Recycle | Break down a material and build something else |
Reuse | Use material again or for a different purpose |
There are THREE additional cards to make – they have information on one side only

Matter | Both | Energy |
Made of atoms | Cannot be created or destroyed | Like a fart in the wind |
Cycles | Moves and Changes Over Time | Flows – becomes less useful |
Made of elements | The ability to change matter | |
Earth “closed” to matter | Earth open to energy | |
Has mass and volume | Has no mass or volume | |
Turns into thermal energy |
Put the instructions below on a card – big card #3
Using the Periodic Table of the Elements
1) Small number in box is Atomic Number
2) Atomic Number equals the number of protons and also the number of electrons
3) Large number in box is atomic mass. (round this number)
4) Number of neutrons equals atomic mass – atomic number.

TYPES OF QUESTIONS ON THE MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST:
Questions matching the first 20 elements with their symbols
Comparing and contrasting energy and matter – use the Venn Diagram to study
With the periodic table, listing information about an element
Metric conversion problems – you can use the chart
Comparing and Contrasting RRR
System questions and questions about independent and dependent variables
Questions about measuring vocabulary; simple density problem
