What makes day
and night?
What is in the
sky?
How are the
Earth, the Sun, and the Moon connected?
What is
gravity? What causes it?
What happens when
water gets spilled, splashed or dropped on something? Does water do the same on all surfaces?
What could you do
to make water flow faster down a slope?
What happens to
water when it is heated?
What happens to
water when it’s cooled?
What happens to
water when it freezes
When it rains,
the pavement gets wet. Who dries it,
or how does it get dry again?
How did water get
onto the outside of the cup? Where
did the water come from?

Investigation 1
-water is
absorbed by some materials
-water beads up
on some materials
surface tension
makes a drop of water form beads and domes with a skin-like surface
-the speed at
which a bead of water flows on a smooth surface depends on the slope of the
surface and the size of the water bead.
Investigation 2
-water may exist
as a solid, liquid, or gas, depending on its temperature
-changing the
temperature of water may change its properties
-cold water is
denser than warm water
liquid water
becomes solid water (ice) when it cools to 0 degrees Celsius
-warming ice to a
temperature above 0 degrees Celsius causes it to met into liquid water.
Investigation 3
-evaporation is
the process by which liquid water changes into water vapor
-temperature
affects the rate of evaporation
-the surface area
of a liquid affects the rate of evaporation
-condensation
occurs when water vapor contacts a cool surface and changes into a liquid
-evaporation and
condensation contribute to the movement of water through the water cycle
Investigation 4
-some earth
materials absorb more water tan other earth materials do
-water flows more
easily through some earth materials than through others
-flowing water
can be used to do work
-water contains
different materials that affect its quality
-evaporation can
be used to detect materials that may be dissolved in water

Investigation 1
-Only iron sticks
to a magnet
-Two magnets
attract or repel when they interact
-Magnetic force
causes magnetic interactions
-Magnetism can be
induced only in iron or steel (and a few other metals)
-The magnetic
force acts through space and most materials
-The magnetic
force of attraction between two magnets decreases with distance
-The greater the
distance between two magnets, the less the magnetic force
-Magnetic field
act through many materials
-Compasses, iron
filings and iron objects can detect a magnetic field
Investigation 2
-electricity is a
form of energy
-there are
electrical systems made of parts; the system will not work without all of
its parts
