YEAR 1 SCIENCE
Note-Taking Expectations
 notes
must be written neatly
 letters
should not be too BIG!
 write
on each line, unless instructed to skip
a line for another section
 have
a puke page on standby: if you run

after the presentation!)
Top of the Page
Your notes should contain the following at
the top of page 31:

difference between a substance and a
mixture?)
 The

REVIEW

With your group, come up with a definition of
matter.
Matter  anything that has mass and
takes up space!

With your group, determine which of the following
would be classified as matter:
WHALE, MILK, HEAT, DINOSAUR, GRASS, LOVE, BLOOD,
SUN, BOOK, YOU, GRAVITY
Matter can be
classified as either a
substance or mixture
SKIP 1 LINE
Substance: type of matter with
a fixed structure that cannot
be separated by physical
means
2 examples 
elements & compounds
SKIP 1 LINE
SUBSTANCE
Element: substance made
up of the same atoms
combined
examples
gold, helium, aluminum
SKIP 1 LINE
SUBSTANCE
Compound: substance made
up of 2 or more different
atoms that are combined
examples
Water (H20), carbon dioxide
(CO2)
SKIP 1 LINE
Mixture: type of matter made up
of 2 or more substances that can
be separated by physical means;
2 examples 
heterogeneous & homogeneous
SKIP 1 LINE
MIXTURE
Heterogeneous: mixture in
which 2 or more materials are
not evenly mixed together
examples
Pizza, fruit salad, chex mix
SKIP 1 LINE
MIXTURE
Homogeneous: mixture in
which 2 or more materials
are evenly mixed together
examples
vinegar, milk
Note Review

highlight in yellow matter, substance, compound,
mixture, heterogeneous, homogeneous

underline in red the definitions of substance and mixture

circle in blue the examples of element, compound,
heterogeneous, homogeneous

draw 2 green boxes around 1) elements and
compounds (vocab, definitions, and examples) and 2)
heterogeneous and homogeneous (vocab, definitions,
and examples)

Across from your notes, you
will create a diagram that
organizes the different types
of matter. Use your notes
and the given terms to
complete the diagram.
