Morning Meeting
Objective:
Content. Matter exists on Earth in three common
phases (States)- Solid, liquid, and gas.
Content. Melting is a change of state caused by heat.
Content. Dissolving is an interaction between two
substances in which one substance breaks apart and
goes into another substance.
Investigate. Use hot water to transfer heat to
substances to observe phase change.

Science 7: Investigation 9: Genetic Variation, Part 2:
Larkey Genetics, Day 1 of 2
Group:
Resource Books, 46
Lab Notebook, 55
Objective:
Content 01. Heredity is the passing of information from
one generation to the next.
Content 02. Chromosomes are structures that contain
hereditary information and transfer it to the next
generation; they occur in nearly identical pairs in the
Class:

nucleus of every cell.
Content 03. Genes are the basic units of heredity
carried by chromosomes. Genes code for features of
organisms.
Content 04. Alleles are variations of genes that
determine traits; the two alleles on paired
chromosomes constitute a gene.
Content 05. Alleles can be dominant or recessive.
Dominant alleles exhibit their effect if they are present
in one chromosome; recessive alleles exhibit their
effect only when both chromosomes have the allele.

Content 06. An organism’s particular combination of

those alleles result in the organism’s phenotype.

Lab Notebook, pg 63
Morning Meeting
Objective:
Content. Melting is a change of state caused by heat.
Content. In Solids, particles are held in place and move
only by vibrating.
Content. In liquids, particles are held close, but are able
to move around and over one another.
Content. Change of state is the result of change of
energy in the particles in a sample of matter.

Morning Meeting
Objective:
Content. Melting is a change of state caused by heat.
Content. Change of state is the result of change of
energy in the particles of matter.
Content. During phase change, particles do not change;
relationships between particles do change.
Content. The temperature at which phase change occur
are different for different substances.
Investigate. Use flame to transfer heat to substance to
observe phase change.
Explain. Explain phase in terms of the relationship of
particles to one another in a substance.
