PHYSICAL SCIENCE: CHANGES IN MATTER Form changes: � Solid to Liquid: Melting � Liquid to Gas: Vaporizing � Gas to Liquid: Condensing � Liquid to Solid: Freezing Physical Change in Matter (click)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: ENERGY Energy: the ability to do work or cause change; can be changed into different forms and can move between objects Energy from Sun (click) Changes in Energy (click)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: FORMS OF ENERGY/WAVES Energy comes in different forms (light, heat, mechanical, chemical, sound, magnetic) Forms of Energy (click) Sound Energy (click) Waves: energy travels in waves We can measure these waves in different ways: wavelength, amplitude and frequency Sound Waves (click)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: LIGHT ENERGY LIGHT: waves of electromagnetic energy; electromagnetic energy that people can see Light (click) Color: a property of an object that depends upon the wavelengths of light reflected by the object White light is made of seven colors. All things reflect color and absorb color. We see an object in the color it reflects. Apples reflect red color. So, they appear red. Color (click)
