Living on the Edge

Shaping Our World
Manufacturing
  • A substance has characteristic properties, such as density, a boiling point, and solubility, all of which are independent of the amount of the sample
  • A mixture of substances often can be separated into the original substances using one or more of the characteristic properties
  • Classify materials as acidic, basic, or neutral, based on observable characteristics
  • Substances react chemically in characteristic ways with other substances to form new substances (compounds) with different characteristic properties
  • Classify sample materials according to their thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical, and mechanical properties
  • Environmental conditions influence the characteristic properties of materials
Forecasting
  • The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed
  • A substance has characteristic properties
  • Investigate the principle of center of mass using levers
  • If more than one force acts on an object along a straight line, then the forces will reinforce or cancel one another, depending on their direction and magnitude
