Name Date MODULE OPENER How can I use what I know about different types of metals to identify how they can be used? ANTONIO Robotics Engineer STEM Career Connection Materials Engineer June 12 A local cargo company asked me to analyze the stability of their shipping barges. My goal is to help the cargo company move their materials by using less fuel. From what I can tell, the barges are overloaded and are displacing a lot of water, making it more difficult for them to move smoothly. June 27 I suggested they load less cargo onto each barge or invest in barges made out of lighter weight material. That way, less fuel will be needed to move the ships at the speed required to get them to their destination on time. Draw how you think the cargo should be loaded on the barge. Science and Engineering Practices I will plan and carry out investigations. I will develop and use models.

ASSESS LESSON READINESS Name Date Matter s Structure PAGE KEELEY SCIENCE PROBES Is It Matter? Four friends were talking about matter. They each had different ideas about the kinds of things that are matter. This is what they said: Abe: I think something needs to be solid to be matter. Kayla: I think matter can be a solid or a liquid. Curtis: I think matter can be a solid, liquid, or gas. Lori: I think matter can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but it doesn t include living things. Who do you agree with most? Explain why you agree. 4 Module Structure and Properties of Matter
Name Date ENGAGE Science in Our World Watch the video of the iceberg. What is it made of? What questions do you have about this mass of ice in the ocean? Read about a physics teacher and answer the questions on the next page. STEM Career Connection Physics Teacher I m a physics teacher at Roosevelt High School, and I love what I do! There is much to explore in the world of physics, and although we have to take notes and do complex math, my students have fun. They work hard and even use computer models to show what they have learned. Physics teachers can use models to help students understand the structure of different types of matter. My favorite days are when we do investigations. Sometimes I have all the materials ready to go and the students make predictions and follow instructions to complete the experiment. But sometimes I let them design their own experiments based on questions they want to answer about the physical world. These days are great. Sometimes they ask questions and find answers that I never thought of. And that is what science is all about finding ways to discover new things!
