When a word has a vowel followed by two of the same consonants in a row (called a double consonant), a short sound is used for the vowel.
When there are two or more vowels and the word ends with the vowel 'E', two things happen. The ending vowel 'E' is silent, and the vowel that comes before it has a long sound.
Where there is only one vowel and it comes at the end of the word, it usually has a long sound.
When there is only one vowel in a word and it is anywhere except at the end of a word, it usually has a short sound.
When two vowel letters are together, the first vowel letter has a long sound and the second vowel letter is silent. Use 'Yours sincerely' when you have addressed someone by their name. ExamplesDear Michael, Dear Michael Jones, Dear M Jones, or Dear Mr Jones = Yours sincerely. Matter has mass and takes up space It’s everything you see, touch and taste Matter is made of tiny molecules and atoms Elements with protons, neutrons and electrons Matter is the stuff that is all around Scientists have found some things that don’t count Matter cannot be a form of energy Like wind, sound, light or heat Matter has mass and takes up space Solid, liquid, gas are the three different states Matter has properties that tell what it’s like It goes through physical and chemical changes, that’s right! Solid, liquid, gas are the three different states These phases of matter change what the matter makes If water’s solid it’s ice, if it’s liquid it’s water If the water is a gas then it turns to water vapor Melting is going from a solid to a liquid Evaporating is going from a liquid to a gas Condensation is going from a gas to a liquid Freezing is going from a liquid to a solid Matter has properties that tell what it’s like We make careful observations to help us describe Mass, Volume, Density, and Pressure Size, Shape, Texture, and Temperature Properties of matter can be chemical If oxidation takes place or if something is flammable Matter can never be destroyed or created A new substance can form with a chemical reaction In a physical change, the object stays the same You can fold it, bend it, cut it, but the object still remains A physical change doesn’t really change the matter The matter just moves from one state to another In a chemical change, a new substance is created You can rust it, burn it, cook it, but you can’t reverse it In a chemical change something new will form Energy is given off or energy is absorbed ©www.HaveFunTeaching.com |
