Water, Water Everywhere
If you have ever seen a photograph of Earth from space, you know that
much of the planet is covered by water. Water makes life on Earth
possible. If life as we know it exists on some other planet, water must be
present to support that life.

1. Working with a partner, make a list of ten things that have water
in them.
2. Exchange your list for the list of another pair of students. Did your lists
contain some of the same things? Did anything on the other list surprise
you?
3. Did either list contain any living things?

Matter and Energy
Have you ever sat around a campfire or watched flames flicker in a
fireplace? The burning of wood is a chemical reaction—a process that
changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals. A chemical
reaction always involves changes in chemical bonds that join atoms in
compounds. The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical
reaction are called reactants. The elements or compounds produced by a
chemical reaction are called products. As wood burns, molecules of
cellulose are broken down and combine with oxygen to form carbon
dioxide and water vapor, and energy is released.

1. What are the reactants when wood burns?
2. What are the products when wood burns?
3. What kinds of energy are given off when wood burns?
4. Wood doesn’t burn all by itself. What must you do to start a fire? What
does this mean in terms of energy?
5. Once the fire gets started, it keeps burning. Why don’t you need to
keep restarting the fire?
