What do you think?
How many kinds of matter are there? What makes up matter?
Investigate (pgs 101-103) Write your answers in the spaces
provided.
1. Look around you. Write a list of 10 different types of matter
you can see. For each one, say if you think it is a mixture or a pure
substance.

5) The gasses were produced from water, H2O. What do you think they
are? Are they the same as each other or different?

In chemistry, we have 2 types of pure substances – elements
and compounds. Write the definitions of these in your vocab
book.
A compound can be broken down into it’s elements. For
example, water can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen

2H2O  2H2 + O2
Draw a picture to represent this reaction:
10) We can also do this reaction in reverse by lighting hydrogen gas in
air (with oxygen) to produce water.
2H2 + O2  2H2O
This is the reaction we can use to blow up the egg. Write down at least
3 observations of the eggsplosion.
