This week we learned what matter is composed of, and which forms it comes in. We learned about Molecules, Atoms, particles, compounds, mixtures, pure substances, and elements, discussing what each of these physically looked like, and how they are scientifically written/defined.
Here is an example of the work we did in class to fully comprehend each subject. Our table's board defines each of the terms listed above and contains three pictures to show what they look like. 

In class, we discussed solubility (how something can mix with something else). We observed whether sugar cubes are soluble in water and in ethanol. And concluded that sugar is soluble in water, but not in 100% proof ethanol. 
We also went over LOL charts. They demonstrate which type of energy is gained or released in a situation. Examples of these types of energy include; potential, thermal, kinetic, etc. 

Last, we went over electrolysis and how the gases in certain substances can be separated, etc.
