Unit III: Budding Scientists Sequence I: Discovering Language

I/ Pre-reading:

Task01: Match these three physical phenomena with their pictures:

1-Gravity 1- Static Electricity 1- Dispersion of light

Task 02: Circle the best answer:

- Scientists discovered and determined these physical phenomena using……

a- imagination b- discussions c- experiment

II/ While-reading:
Read the following text then do the activities below

Marshmallows
Every Vs Jelly Beans object on earth is made of atoms. Gravity pulls
these atoms to the earth. You can measure the pull of gravity on an
object. We call that measurement weight.

A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Density is how close together the molecules
of a substance are or how much mass a substance has in a given space.

For example, if you have one cup of jelly beans and one cup of marshmallows, the jelly beans
have more mass because there is more "stuff" compacted into the cup. The marshmallows have less
mass because the molecules of marshmallows or NOT close together. Marshmallows are mostly air.

If you put each of those cups in a microwave to melt the jelly beans and the marshmallows,
the sugar and water molecules that make up the jelly beans will almost fill the cup to the top. The
sugar and water molecules that makes up the marshmallows would only fill the cup a little bit
because marshmallows have less mass, they are mostly made of air. Materials with more density
weigh more. A cup of jelly beans weighs more than a cup of marshmallows.

For an object to be buoyant, or float, it must have less density than what it is floating in, or,
it has to have something attached to it that helps it float - like you with a life jacket on. Thus, if an
object has less density than the liquid it is put in, it floats.
