What Students Need to Know:
A. Properties of Matter 
• Matter is anything that has mass.
• Basic properties of matter include
Mass: the amount of matter in an object
Weight: the force exerted on an object by gravity
Volume: a measure of the amount of space an object takes up
• Materials can be described in terms of many properties (including color, hardness,
reflectivity, density, electrical conductivity, response to magnetism, ability to dissolve).
• Materials can be identified by observing and measuring their specific properties.

B. Structure of Matter 
• Matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
• Real-world examples that demonstrate and model that matter is made of particles
 
C. Physical Changes in Matter 
• Physical changes occur when a physical characteristic of the matter is changed
but the type of matter remains the same.
• Changing states of matter:
Solid matter has definite shape and volume.
Liquid matter has definite volume but indefinite shape.
Gases have no definite shape and no definite volume.
• Other physical changes:
Dividing an object into pieces
Dissolving a substance
Mixing two substances 
 
D. Interactions of Matter 
• A chemical change occurs when two types of matter interact to form a new
substance.
• Evidence that a chemical change has occurred includes changes in odor, color,
or temperature or formation of a gas
• When substances undergo chemical change, no matter is gained or lost—the
total weight of matter is conserved.

E. Introduction to the Language of Chemistry
• Chemistry: the scientific study of what matter is made of and how matter changes
• Matter is made of particles too small to be seen, called atoms.
• Matter made up of only one kind of atom is called an element.
• Atoms can bond together to form molecules.

Meet Mrs. Telarico

Welcome to 4th Grade Room 219!  My name is Joni Telarico and I will be your student's teacher for the 2024 -2025 school year!  This is my first year teaching fourth grade and my nineteenth year teaching.  This is my ninth year of teaching at Aspen View Academy.

I am originally from Pennsylvania, but my family has lived here in Castle Rock for the past nine years.  I have been married to my husband Mike for 30 years and I have two sons. Matt is 22 and works in Pittsburgh as an engineer, and Cameron is 20 and a junior in college in Utah.

We love living in Colorado and enjoy being outside.  Hiking, biking, yoga, and spending time with my family are some of my favorite activities to do!  I am looking forward to a great year working with you and your student!!!
