Physical Science Concepts

The concepts basic to understanding the physical sciences include:

� Air takes up space

� Air has weight

� Air is all around us

� Things that make sound vibrate

� Moving air pushes things

� Air slows moving objects

� Things near the earth fall to the ground unless something holds them up

� Everything is made from material called matter

� All matter takes up space

� Matter can change into a solid, liquid, or gas

� Matter can be classified according to observable

� characteristics

� Physical changes and chemical changes are two basic ways of

� changing things

� In a physical change, appearances change, and the substance

� remains the same (tearing paper, chopping wood)

� In a chemical change, the characteristics change so that a new

� substance is formed (burning, rusting)
