Samples of matter or elements just what is the difference.

What does it matter if it is an element or a molecule, who cares? Check these out for a better understanding.

Soluability

Going to these site's will help you understand that temperature, surface area and time are the factors that contribute to a piece of candy dissolving in your mouth.

Newton's laws of motion

Please use these links to have a more complete understanding of Sir Issac's Newtons laws of motion. We know about these and see the laws of motion in every day life but never connect what we have heard or read in a text book somewhere. Here is a chance to see or hear what they are at a different level of under standing.

Here are the first of many TEKS that we will be working on understanding during this first semester.


7(E) classify samples of matter from everyday life as being elements, compounds, or mixtures.



8(C) investigate and identify the law of conservation of mass;



9(D) demonstrate how various factors influence solubility including temperature, pressure, and nature of the solute and solvent.


4(B) investigate and describe applications of Newton's laws such as in vehicle restraints, sports activities, geological processes, and satellite orbits;

Welcome to Mr Bee's science class

This sight is to help the parents of my students know what their child is learning in class on a current topic. I will use this as tool to help your child learn the TEKS that they will be tested on for graduation.

I am going to do this in a non formal manner and hopefully entertaining and not BORING manner. I do know my subject can get difficult because of the vocabulary (words) that scientist use to explain a topic.

Now that I said all of that, This is going to be learning as I go also. I have not used this as a tool before so lets have some fun while we are doing this together. Lets have some fun, and lets start now.
