7th Grade Extra Credit Challenge

Hi 7th Grade,

You should spend about 30 minutes tonight going over the next section of your review sheet - 

Characteristic Properties:  Boiling Point, Melting Point, Density.  


Be sure you know that Characteristic Properties are and remember they independent of the amount of substance present (mass is not a characteristic property!)


Density-know the UNITS (page 111)  D=M/V

Know:

-what a density column is and how it is used

-how to find the density of solids and liquids

-that density is equal to mass divided by volume.


CHALLENGE QUESTION:


How is the wind converted to energy using a windmill or wind turbine.  Come to class with one paragraph (typed) and the source(s) you used.
