Boat Challenge

Project Based STEM Activities Middle Grades Science TemplateProject Based STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activities create a student-centered learning environment in which students investigate and engineer solutions to real-world problems, and construct evidence-based explanations of real-world phenomena within their science content. Students are also provided the opportunity to re-design models they have developed, based on peer feedback and reviews. Through these engineering practices within the content, students can gain a deeper understanding of science and are exposed to how STEM relates to their education and future career goals.

Division of Academics – Department of ScienceFirst Nine Weeks

Before activity:

What the teacher will do:Engage:

Teacher burns a small piece of paper inside of a beaker. Teacher asks students: “What happened to the paper?; Is there the same amount of matter in the beaker

before and after?; Where did the matter go?; How can you tell?; What type of change did you observe: physical or chemical?”.

Have students use the background information to develop a problem statement.

During activity:

What the teacher will do:Explorea. Monitor students to make sure they are remaining on task and are following proper

lab protocol.b. Review the experimental design diagram by asking individual students in groups to

explain the different parts of the experiment.1. Follow laboratory procedural plan; making sure to model proper laboratory

safety and use of equipment.2. While walking around, ask students within their group what is the temperature

in the thermometer to make sure they remember how to read it.3. Emphasize importance of data collection by groups.

c. Have students use the Discussion Questions provided to apply the exploration to expected learning.

Answer Key:1. Name the reactants: Baking Soda and Vinegar2. Name the products: Sodium Acetate, Water, and Carbon Dioxide3. Name the gas produced: Carbon Dioxide4. Compare the mass of the closed system before and after the reaction. Explain

your results. (The mass of the closed system before and after the reaction were the same because matter cannot be create nor destroyed

5. Were any new elements introduced into the closed system? Where did the gas come from? Explain. NO. The law of conservation of mass states that in any chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. Therefore, in a balanced chemical equation you must have the same number of atoms of each element on either side of the equation. The gas came from the baking soda and vinegar

6. What evidence did you observe to indicate that a chemical reaction took place? (Bubbles indicated that a chemical reaction took place, also a new substance was form and gas was given off which inflated the balloon)

7. After the gas was released, what happened to the mass of the system and why? (The mass of the system decreased because the system was no longer closed. Some matter escaped (the gas) which caused the mass to decreased

8. Did your results support this statement? Why/Why Not?What the teacher will do:ExplainHave students complete the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning to respond to their own problem statement.

ElaborateDesign and create a model to describe the flow of energy and cycling of matter in a food web.

Evaluate:Create a poster that defines and illustrates the Law of Conservation of Mass.

CIS: An Oil Filter for Water (Grade 8 Q1)From Society for Science

A new screen can separate oil and water after they’ve mingled

There’s an old saying that oil and water don’t mix. But sometimes they do — especially when a chemical called a surfactant brings the two together. Once blended, oil and water become tough to pull apart. Unless, that is, you have a new type of sieve.

Researchers led by Anish Tuteja at the University of Michigan have created a new type of filter that lets water pass through but leaves oil behind. The device could be used to help clean water at treatment plants or mop up oil spills. It’s too soon, however, to know if it will be useful for large disasters, notes Tuteja.

In August, Tuteja’s team reported that a test version of the new filter performed almost perfectly in laboratory tests: It removed 99.9 percent of the oil from an oil-water mix.

Materials scientists like Tuteja specialize in trying to build new materials with useful properties. In the past, other scientists have built filters using a material that lets the oil through but stops the water. Tuteja says those filters need lots of energy to work well. They also quickly gum up with oil and must be cleaned.

Tuteja’s filter does the opposite: It allows water through but blocks the oil. And it doesn’t rely on extra energy to move the mixture through the system. Only gravity, a force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, tugs the liquids downward.

The scientists created the new device by dipping a base material — like a mesh or a net — into two chemicals. One of those chemicals loves water; the other repels oil. When a water-oil mixture now hits the filter, water — the heavier of the two liquids — gets pulled through, but oil does not.

The scientists tested their device on mixtures containing water and different types of oil. Each time, the water went through and the oil slid off the side into a different container.

“This is nice work,” Di Gao told Science News. He’s a chemical engineer at the University of Pittsburgh who did not work on the new material. As he explains: “It’s not too hard to make a surface that repels water but likes oil — but to do it the other way is hard.”

Matter’s Properties (Pearson Interactive Science)Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. A property is something about matter that you can observe with one or more of your senses. Some examples of properties are shape, color, weight, size, smell, and taste.

There is a difference between an object’s properties and a material’s properties. For example, one of the properties of a gold bar might be a rectangular shape. The bar has a certain size and mass. If you cut the bar, some of its physical properties as an object will change.

The properties of a material do not change. The gold bar can be bent, cut, or crushed, but the properties of gold stay the same. The shape of the gold does not change its density. If you cut it into little pieces, the pieces will still not be attracted to a magnet. Its color, hardness, and texture will not change either. These are properties of the material gold, not those of the gold bar.

You can identify an element by its chemical and physical properties. Chemical properties tell how one material changes into another material. Physical properties can be measured without changing the material. Physical properties include the color, smell, texture, or hardness of an object, as well as mass and volume. Each element has its own set of properties. When you measure an object’s physical properties, you do not change the object. When you observe an object’s color, you have done nothing to change it. You can use rulers, microscopes, and thermometers to observe, describe, and measure physical properties. Scales and balances can also be used. More than 3/4 of elements are metals. The physical properties of metals include the following. Metals are shiny and smooth. They can be bent. Metals also conduct heat and electricity well.Parts of Matter: An element is a basic building block of matter. There are more than one hundred different elements. Elements join together to make up all other kinds of matter, and they cannot be broken down into smaller pieces. Only a few elements are found in nature in their pure form. One element found in its pure form is gold. Most of the matter around us is made up of combined elements. For example, rust forms when iron combines with oxygen. Most living and nonliving things are made up of just a few elements, and these elements are combined in many different ways.

All matter is made up of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of matter that has the properties of an element. Atoms are very small, and you cannot see them with your eyes or a regular microscope. Scientists form images of them using special microscopes.

If you look at a photo in a magazine, the colors appear to be solid.Now, look at the same picture under a microscope. All the many colors are made out of patterns of tiny dots of only a few colors. The dots combine to make the colors in the picture. Different kinds of matter are made up of combinations of atoms in the same way. Some types of matter have a set ratio of elements. For example, a molecule of water (H2O) is always made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

Ideas About Matter: People have always wondered about their world. In ancient times, people observed fire turn wood to ash. They watched gas and smoke rose from the fire. Gas in the air turned to water and rain. Therefore, they concluded that earth, air, fire, and water were the four elements that made up all matter. Today, scientists know there are more than 100 elements. Matter can be made up of one element, two elements, or many kinds of elements. Living things are mostly made up of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.

The periodic table is a chart that scientists use to organize all the elements. Each element has a name and a symbol. Some people who have discovered elements have been allowed to suggest names for them. Berkelium was named after the city of Berkeley, California. What do you think californium is named after? Einsteinium is named after Albert Einstein. Seaborgium is named after another scientist, Glenn Seaborg. What would you call an element named after you?

What Forms Does Matter Take? Water has three forms: solid, liquid, or gas. These three forms are called phases, or states, of matter. The phase of any material is due to the motions and arrangements of its particles. The phase that a material is in at room temperature is a physical property.

The particles in a solid are very close together. They vibrate, or shake, in place because the forces between the particles keep them from moving around. Solids have a shape and volume that does not change.

As a solid warms up, it can melt and become a liquid. The particles can now move and slide past each other. That is why liquids take the shape of any container they are placed in. Like solids, liquids have a volume that does not change. The particles might move but they remain close together.

Particles in a gas are farther apart than particles in solids or liquids. The particles don’t affect one another unless they bump together. A gas does not have a definite shape or volume, so when a gas is put in a container, its particles spread out evenly throughout the container.
