Chapter 1.2

by raiyaht2015

 Mass is how much matter is in a substance, and volume is how much space the substance takes up ( usually measured in L). Matter is anything with mass and volume. Mass + volume = matter!!! Simple. Chemical change is something that happens in matter. It is when two different substances are mixed or combined to create a new substance. Sometimes when the substances are mixed, they don’t create a new substance, but they do have some changes in appearance. That is called a Physical change. When you have one of the three states of matter ( liquid, solid or gas ), lets say “solid” and it turns into another state such as “liquid”, that is called change of state. The six possible changes of state are: solid to liquid = melting. liquid to solid = solidification. Solid to gas = sublimation. Gas to solid = deposition. Gas to liquid = condensation. liquid to gas = evaporation.

Matter is made up of a bunch of tiny particles, too small to see my the naked eye, or even with a microscope. There is space between the particles in every state of matter but the amount of space varies. In solid, liquid and gas, the particles move differently because of the space in between them. For a solid, there isn’t that much space between the particles so they can only vibrate. Liquid particles have more room to move around so they spread a part and slip past one another. This means they don’t hold their form like solids do, that allows them to take the shape of their container. Gas particles have lots of space between them. They are actually mostly empty space, allowing the to move freely. Don’t forget that all particles are constantly moving. The kinetic molecular theory describes how the kinetic energy (he energy of motion) changes. Physical properties are properties of matter that you can observe or measured.

This covers pretty much all of chapter 1.2 in the text book.

“The Secluded Lot”

Raiyah Tyers

September 18

English 9

Mr.Barazzoul

Exposition :
” I’d like to inquire about a lot,” the old man said, the effort of decision evident in his voice. “At my age you never know…” Page 115
Rising action:
” I’d prefer an older location. ” The old man down at his unpolished shoes, embarrassed. ” I mean, where trees and shrubs have had a chance to grow.” Page 115
Rising action:
“I’d like a good view.” The old man explained. ” but more important, privacy.” Page 117
Rising action:
” No, I like it the way it is–wild and secret and uncared-for–hidden by thicket of branches.” For some time, the old man stood there, gazing off into the distance. “Am I allowed…” he hesitated, correcting himself. ” Is the purchaser allowed to visit it at any time?”. Page 117
Climax:
“Ouch!” yelled Mr. Jerome. ” That cursed bee stung me.” ” I’m sorry,” the old man said, ” but that sting costs the bee its life.” Then it was that Mr.Jerome begun to understand. The full implications left him aghast. There was no precedent for thisin all cemetery history. ” How dare you operate a bee hive in this cemetery?” Page 119
Falling action:
” I’m not soliciting business. The bees are just going about there normal and natural pursuits. Besides, Rest Haven Nectar brings a special price.” ” You sell the honey?” Page 120
Falling action:
” Mr. Jerome, I have done you great service. Your flowers have never been so magnificent or plentiful.” ” That’s true,” he was forced to admit. Page 121
Denouement:
” Mr. Jerome, I have reached an important decision: I should like to buy another lot.” Page 122
