The Make Up of Matter does Matter! By Jaz !

Everything is made up of matter. First of all, matter is a solid, liquid, and gas. Also, the more mass an object has the more matter it has. Next, matter is made up of molecules, and when two molecules mix they contract causing heat from friction. All matter has a physical reaction or a chemical reaction. Matter can not be destroyed or created. Matter takes up space, and sometimes it's invisible and sometimes you can see it. Living and non living things are matter. If you mix two things together it becomes a mixture or one combination. In conclusion, the make up of matter does matter. The pH can be measured in everything we drink. ! The pH level changes because of the different substances in the liquid. The lower pH levels have more acid. I learned that when we tested the substances only a few of the tests had a different pH level. We noticed that all of substances with a pH level of four had caffeine. Also, all but one of the substances containing water had a pH level of ve. We found that real lemon was the only one that had the pH level of three.the mode of all the substances was the pH level four. The average pH level is six because it's saliva (spit). For example, when I drank hot sauce (which has vinegar in it) so it's a pH level of two. My pH level changed, and it gave me heart burn. I took some TUMS which has a pH of 9. All TUMS really do is it stabilizes your pH. When you go to an ocean and you drink the salt water all it does is dehydrate instead of hydrating you. If you go to the store and buy Arm and Hammer toothpaste they put baking soda inside the toothpaste so you can't see the baking soda. In conclusion, you need to know the pH levels. ! Thermal energy has to do with temperature. We found that the amount of vinegar you add to the steel wool affects the temperature. When we increased the amount of

vinegar, the temperature rose. When the steel wool effects the temperature. The insulation and the heat from the furnace keeps my house warm. A furnace provides heat because wood, charcoal, natural gas, propane, water, geothermal, oil, solar, and biomass. Inside my body my heart pumps creating heat for the blood,motion energy from cells, and digestion creates heat. ! Temperature will change with activity caused by reactions. Magnetic elds come in a variety of sizes. Basically, there is a magnetic eld around the earth that keeps the earth from being exposed to intense sun rays, and meteorites. When we put to magnets under the bag of iron shavings they were attracted to the magnets in a pattern. Scientist have collected shards of pottery over the centuries and scientists tested the magnetic pull to determine how strong the magnetic eld was in that time period. They compare there evidence to today. We cannot always see magnetic elds. ! These scientists Mendeleev, Curie, and Borlaug had there special talents. Mendeleev created the rst periodic table. Curie died from radiation due to her discoveries, polonium, and radium. Borlaug spent 40 years helping people around the world to not starve or hunger after he worked 20 years of creating high protein wheat. These scientists made improvements in the world. ! The Periodic table helps us identify the elements. Coal is an element of the periodic table have a atomic number of protons. There categorized by there by halogens, noble gases, Metalloids, and others. Another way to put the elements in groups is solid, liquid, gas, and unknown. In conclusion, we now have more elements discovered. Overall, we learned a little more about matter.
