What We Are Learning In Science

                In Science we have learned many things. The first things we learned were scientific inquiry, scientific theory, design process, and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS). After that we learned about Particle Theory of Matter. In that unit we learned the states of matter, how to calculate Specific Heat Capacity (SPC), changes in states of matter, and different types of energy (ex. Potential energy, kinetic energy, etc.).

            We are starting the second part of Particle Theory of Matter. So far we have learned about pure substances and mixtures. We learned about mechanical mixtures. Also we learned about solutions, solutes and solvents. We learned about the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous. The difference is that heterogeneous is a mixture of two substances that are mixed, but remain visible; homogeneous is a mixture that is mixed really well that it looks like one substance.
