Matter
Our Standard Goals for this Unit:
-We will know that the sun provides the energy that is a driving force for most biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) cycles on the surface of the earth.
-We will know that the sun's energy fuels the water cycle and impacts different aspects of the water cycle (evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation).
-We will know the meaning of the words: evaporation, transpiration, condensation and precipitation.
-We will know that the weight of an object is equal to the weight of the sum of its parts. This is true in all closed systems.
-We will know that by making qualitative and quantitative data records, we are able to make before/after representations of materials (and their properties), so that we can compare before/after versions of materials.

What's the big deal about the Sun? Read to find out!
Let's look specifically at how the Sun impacts the water cycle!
What happens to the weight of an object when we break it into small parts?
What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?
