Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
What Do You Think?
How is an element
different from a
compound?
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1
Answer
An element is
made up of only
one pure
substance, and a
compound is
composed of two
or more elements
that are
chemically
combined.

Elements
An element is a pure
substance that cannot be
separated into simpler
substances by physical or
chemical means.
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1
Elements
A pure substance is a substance
in which every particle of that
element is the same.
– Example: Every particle in a 5g gold
nugget is like every other particle of gold,
no matter where they are found.

• Mixtures can be separated into 2 types:
homogenous mixtures and
heterogenous mixtures.
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1
Elements, Compounds, and
Mixtures
Homogenous Mixtures
• A homogenous mixture is a mixture of
two or more substances that is
completely uniform in composition.
• Homogenous mixtures can be separated
by physical means, but it is often difficult
to do.
• Examples include salt water, kool aid, and
air.

Heterogenous Mixtures
• A heterogenous mixture consists of
many different items, which are often
not easily sorted or separated, though
they are clearly distinct.
• Examples include oil and water mixed
together, sand or gravel, and even
chocolate chip cookies!

How do scientists use
physical properties to
arrange elements on the
periodic table?
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1
Introduction to the Periodic Table
Dimitri Mendeleev
discovered a
pattern to the
elements in the
periodic table in
1869.

Unit 1
Introduction to the Periodic Table
He simply wrote the
names of all of the
elements on cards,
along with some of
their properties.
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1
Introduction to the Periodic Table
• Mendeleev tried arranging his
cards based on different
properties like color, density,
melting point, and atomic mass.
• He found that by arranging the
elements by increasing atomic
mass, he found many other
properties that fit a pattern.
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1
Introduction to the Periodic Table
Mendeleev found that by arranging the
elements by increasing atomic mass,
similar physical and chemical properties
repeated in every 8th element.
This is called periodic, or having a
regular, repeating pattern.
Can you think of anything else that is
periodic?

Pre-AP Extensions for Chapter 3
• There are trends in Metallic and
Nonmetallic Character that we can
see on the periodic table.
• Metallic character is strongest for
the elements in the leftmost part of
the periodic table, and tends to
decrease as we move to the right in
any period.
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade

Forces in Motion
• In the late 1500s, Galileo
found that mass does not
affect the time the object
takes to fall to the ground.
• Both the elephant and the
feather hit the ground at the
same time.
• This only happens if there is
NO air resistance.

Air resistance is a fluid
friction that opposes the
motion of object through the
air.
It slows down acceleration.

An object is in free fall only if
gravity is pulling it down and
no other forces are acting on it.
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1

• Because air resistance is a force, free
fall can only occur where there is no
air, such as a vacuum (a place in
which there is no matter) or in space.
• If the feather and the elephant were in
free fall, they would hit the ground at
the same time.

Projectile motion has 2
components: horizontal and
vertical.
- When throwing a ball, horizontal
motion occurs when the ball leaves your
hand.
- After the ball leaves your hand, gravity
pulls it down giving it vertical motion.

momentum
• Momentum is a property of a moving
object.
• Momentum depends on the objects
mass and velocity.
• If a small car and a large truck are both
traveling down the highway at the same
velocity, the truck has more mass,
therefore it will have more momentum.

1. Input force - the amount of force you
must put into the machine.
2. Output force - the amount of force you
get out of a machine.
3. Fulcrum - the fixed point that acts as a
pivot.
4. Load - same as the output force. It is
usually what you are trying to move.

Lever
A lever is a simple machine that
consists of a bar that pivots at a
fixed point, called a fulcrum.
There are 3 classes of levers.

1st Class Lever
- The fulcrum is between the input force and the
load.
- These levers are used to increase force or
increase distance.
- Examples include a seesaw, scissors, and
pliers.
Where would the fulcrum and the load be in a
seesaw?

2nd Class Levers
- The load is between the fulcrum and the
input force.
- They do not change the direction of the input
force, but they do allow you to apply less
force than the force exerted by the load.
- Examples include a wheelbarrow and a
nutcracker.

- The input force is between the fulcrum and
the load.
- They increase the distance through which
the output force is exerted.
- Examples of these are baseball bats, your
bent arm, and fishing rods.

Inclined Planes
- An inclined plane is a simple
machine that is a straight, slanted
surface.
- Inclined planes use a longer
distance to exert a smaller force.

Inclined Planes
- An example is a ramp. A smaller
input force is required to move a
piano along an inclined plane
than is needed to lift a piano into
a truck.

Wedge
- A wedge is a double inclined
plane that moves.
- A wedge applies an output force
that is greater than your input
force, but you apply the input
force over a greater distance.

Screws
- A screw is an inclined plane
wrapped around a cylinder.
- You apply a small input force
over a large distance, while the
screw exerts a large output
force over a small distance.

Pulleys
A pulley is a machine that
consists of a grooved wheel
that holds a rope or a cable.
© Fall 2005, Pflugerville ISD, 7th Grade
Unit 1
Work and Machines
Pulleys
- A load is attached to one end of the
rope, and an input force is applied to
the other end.
- Examples include flagpoles,
sailboats, blinds, and curtain rods.
- There are two types of pulleys- fixed
and moveable.

Unit 1
Work and Machines
Fixed Pulleys
- A fixed pulley has been
attached to a stationary, or
fixed, object.
- Fixed pulleys change the
direction of the force, but they
do not increase force.

Fixed pulleys
You can use fixed
pulleys to pull
down on a rope to
lift up the object.

Moveable Pulleys
- Moveable pulleys increases the
force without changing the
direction of the force.
- The input force must be exerted
over a greater distance than load is
moved.

- A wheel and axle is a simple
machine consisting of two
circular objects of different
sizes.

Wheel and Axle
- The wheel is the bigger
circle, while the axle is the
smaller of the two.

Unit 1
Work and Machines
Wheel and Axle
- Because the axle is smaller
than the wheel, it rotates
through a smaller distance.
This makes the output force
larger than the input force.

• Scientists have a calculation that is used to
measure how much easier the machine
makes work for us. This is called
Mechanical Advantage.
• The Mechanical Advantage of most simple
machines use the same formula. They use
the words effort force and output
(resistance) force.

• Effort Force is the force you
put into the machine.
• Resistance Force is the force
exerted by the machine.

Try this…
Mr. Kubasta is trying to shove a box full of his
ungraded papers in the back of his car and has to
use a ramp. The ramp length is 2.0 meters long,
and his ungraded papers have a weight of 150
Newtons. The height from the ground to his car is
0.50 meters, and he shoves with a force of 50
Newtons. What is the mechanical advantage of the
ramp he is using?

Work and Machines
Pre-AP Extension for Chapter 5
Answer…
• Mechanical Advantage = Resistance Force
Effort Force
• MA = 150 N = 3
50N
• The ramp has a MA of 3, meaning that it is 3
times “easier” to lift the box using the ramp.

Pre-AP Extension for Chapter 5
• There are NO units for Mechanical Advantage
because the Newton’s for each amount of force
cancel each other out.
• The greater the mechanical advantage, the better the
machine.
• The work that you put into a machine is equal to the
work that you get out of the machine.
• By changing the distance you put that work in for,
you can alter the amount of force required to do the
same amount of work.
