interrogative statement, write “ ”.

What is the smallest object in the universe

An atom is the smallest object in the universe

Everything is made up of atoms

You can compare an atom to a brick – the tiniest piece

of a building

Bonus: What is the main idea for this page?

***Grammar: Week 1


5


Directions:

Copy each sentence.





Why do you need to learn about atoms

Atoms determine everything about an object, except its

form

How big is an atom

If you place 10,000,000 atoms in a line next to each

other, they would measure less than this line:

Atoms are much too small to be seen with a standard

microscope


***Grammar: Week 1


6

(- charge)

made of: neutrons: no charge protons: + charge


Directions:

Copy each sentence.





An atom is made up of electrically charged particles

that hold it together

What are the tiny particles in an atom

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons

Is there a difference between these particles

The nucleus (center) of the atom is made up of positively

charged protons and neutrally charged neutrons (no

charge)


***Grammar: Week 1


7

( + charge)

( - charge)


Directions:

Copy each sentence.





How does the electrical charge effect the atom

If you place two magnets end to end they will move

apart or snap together

If the magnets snapped together, you placed two ends

with opposite poles together

In what way is this like an atom

The positively charged protons hold the atom together

by attracting negatively charged electrons that are

rotating around the nucleus


***Grammar: Week 15

Directions:

Write the letter that corresponds to each sentence below on a piece of paper.

Write the correct verb form for each sentence after the letter.

Simple machines (help or helps) you to accomplish

work.

Levers (is or are) simple machines.

A lever (is or are) a bar that (turn or turns) around a

stationary point (calling or called) a fulcrum.

To move an object with a lever, you (has or have) to

overcome the force (calls or called) a load.

You (lift or lifts) a load with your effort.


***Grammar: Week 15


85


Directions:



There (is or are) three types of levers.

In a class one lever, the fulcrum (lie or lies) between

the load and the effort.

In a class two lever, the load (is or are) placed between

the fulcrum and the effort.

A class three lever (have or has) the effort in between

the fulcrum and the load.

Longer levers (work or works) better than shorter

levers because this simple machine (are or is) much

easier to use if the effort is farther from the fulcrum.


***Grammar: Week 15


86


Directions:



Turning forces (allow or allows) something to rotate

around a fixed point, or a fulcrum.

The turning force (is or are) (know or known) as a

moment.

Hinges on a box (pivot or pivots) around a fulcrum.

The farther you (is or are) from the fixed point, the

less effort you will (need or needs) to exert.

You can loosen a bolt much more easily with a long-

handled wrench than you (is or are) able to with a

short-handled wrench.


***Grammar: Week 15


87


Directions:



Gears (is or are) toothed wheels that (change or

changes) the speed of complex machines.

Many complex machines (is or are) made up of simple

machines.

Scissors (has or have) extremely sharp wedges for

blades that force the surface of an object apart.

A pair of scissors (is or are) a class one lever with the

fulcrum between the effort and the load.

A can-opener (contain or contains) a wedge, a screw,

a lever, and gears.


***Grammar: Week 27

Refer to the page on Object Pronouns (pages 152)

Directions:


List object pronouns in each sentence after each letter.

Green plants are multicellular plants that use carbon

dioxide, water and energy from the sun. These

substances allow them to turn minerals and nutrients

into food for growth, maintenance, and reproduction.

Only plants are able to capture the Sun’s energy

directly. The Sun cannot give you energy without the

help of plants.

Even though our bodies are warmed by the Sun that

does not produce enough energy for us to meet our

needs.

You need to eat food to obtain the necessary energy for

life processes. Green plants are essential for you and

your well-being.

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants provide

energy for almost all life. This process is extremely

important for you and me.


***Grammar: Week 27


154


Directions:



Photosynthesis is possible because plants contain a

substance call chlorophyll. Chlorophyll helps them

capture the sun’s energy.

Chlorophyll uses the Sun’s energy. Chlorophyll uses it

to build carbohydrates from minerals, carbon dioxide,

and water.

Chemical energy is produced during photosynthesis.

Water and carbon dioxide use it to create sugar and

oxygen.

Carbon dioxide enters plants from the atmosphere.

Tiny holes (stomata) allow it to enter the leaves.

Leaves release oxygen into the air in the form of a gas.

Oxygen is then available for you and me.


***Grammar: Week 27


155


Directions:



The required water and minerals for photosynthesis

enters plants in two ways. Both the roots and the leaves

absorb it.

If you were looking at the plant down through the stem,

you would see water entering the plant from the roots

as well as the leaves. The stem channels the water up

towards you and the leaves.

The basic sugars that plants make during this process

are known as carbohydrates. Plants use some of them

for their own needs.

A biochemist, named Melvin Calvin, studied the

process by which plants take in carbon dioxide from

the atmosphere to make organic compounds. The

Calvin Cycle was named after him.

Environmental factors are important during

photosynthesis. The intensity of light, temperature,

and concentration of carbon dioxide affect it greatly.


***Grammar: Week 27


156


Directions:



Plants absorb water and mineral nutrients from the soil.

Their roots also allow them to store sugar and starches.

The potato plant stores carbohydrates in its

underground tubers. When you eat one of them, you

are eating its underground tubers.

Humans depend on extra nutrients provided by plants.

They contain carbohydrates, fats, and protein in them.

Plants also require other ingredients for their

sustenance. There are at least 13 mineral nutrients that

supply them with the requirements for growth,

maintenance, and reproduction.

A young student could eat the roots, stems, leaves,

flowers, fruits, and seeds from a multitude of plants to

obtain minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron to

nourish him or her and provide the necessary energy

for all life’s processes.
