Day Two- Slides #2-4
“What’s a ‘Matter’ Cutter?” said his mother when
he came in with his bookbag one day after
school.
“I have ten things to do for homework, Lacrosse
practice, and my favorite tv show is on
tonight” cutter complained.
“Alright, let’s tackle it one at a time, but first help
me cook dinner.” his mother explained.
“We are learning about Elements, Compounds,
and Mixtures…” …
“Stop right there! This is perfect in explaining
how to make a cake, we need to bake one
tonight for Daddy’s birthday”. Cutter’s mom
said excitedly.
“Elements are like the ingredients in the cake:
egg, milk, flour, water, oil” They each have
individual properties, Compounds are like the
cake after the ingredients are mixed together.
You can’t separate them apart”. She
explained.
“”Then what are mixtures?” Cutter wondered.
