Chemical Changes and Compounds

Tennessee Tech Oakley STEM Center

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, especially when we get to make it with liquid nitrogen! Aubrey runs a delicious experiment mixing ingredients into a compound then changing its form of matter into a delicious frozen state.

7.PS1: Matter and Its Interactions

2) Compare and contrast elemental molecules and compound molecules.

Mass, Volume, and Weight

Tennessee Tech Oakley STEM Center

Does size always determine the volume or weight of an object? Join Aubrey at Tennessee Tech Oakley STEM Center to find out how small objects can weigh much less than large objects.

6. Geometry Students build on their work with area from earlier grades by reasoning about relationships among shapes to determine area, surface area, and volume.

7. Students solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

Today Mitch learns about bouyancy and the building of Navy ships

Success in science creates independent, analytical, lifelong learners capable of meeting the needs and challenges of the 21st century. Students learn how scientific knowledge is acquired and how scientific explanations are developed. Through the engineering design process and the use of engineering, technology, and applications of science, students develop their abilities to work in cooperative groups to design solutions to problems encountered in the real world.”
