Mixed Ability Activities
Taking into account the diversity of the students,

obtaining an improvement in academic results requires
the adoption of certain pedagogic measures.
The proposals that are gathered in this book are
completed through two types of activities:
Consolidation.
Extension.
The contents of the students book are gathered in
both cases, unit by unit.
It depends on the teachers to decide whether it is
convenient to apply them to their different students,
in function of the specific needs of each one.

A Iceland spar is a transparent variety of calcite. It has a property called birefringence:
that is, we see a double image through it. This mineral looks like glass and, if we hit
it, it breaks into rhombohedrons (polyhedrons with six rhombi faces). If some drops of
acid are added to it, it produces bubbles.

MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES
A Read the text carefully and then answer the following questions:
Everything around us is made up of matter, this notebook, water in a river, a tree and
even the air, which we do not see, is matter. Matter is everything which occupies a
place in space, has mass, and consequently has weight. To describe matter we use
its properties, which can be general and specific. We also find that among properties
some depend on the amount of matter we take, for example, mass, and others do not,
for example, temperature. We call the first ones extensive properties and the second
ones, intensive properties.

STUDY OF SOME PROPERTIES OF MATTER (II)
A Read the text carefully and answer the following questions:

We live in a three dimensional space, where all the bodies occupy a certain dimension.
If we want to know their lineal extension, we measure their length; to know their
extension in two dimensions, we measure their surface and in three dimension, their
volume. The maximum volume a specific container can hold is called capacity, which
we usually measure in litres, L. Besides, as all bodies have a certain mass we define a
new physical magnitude, density, which is a specific property of matter.
I. What is the text about? Write down the most important information.
...................................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................................
II. Explain the difference between volume and capacity and state two units of each
of these two magnitudes. .........................................................................................

III. Express in S.I. units the density of a body whose value is 1g/cm3.

C Complete the following text, which describes an experiment in the lab, where several
words and several quantities are missing. Once you have read the text, can you give
it a title?
Choose among the following words: rigidity, particles, density, test tube, scales,
chronometer, and tape measure. (Calculate the mass and density of the liquid.)
The measurement of the .. of an unknown liquid can help us determine what
its density is. To do this we measure the mass of an empty test tube with the ,
and the result is 235g. Next, we add 20cm3 of the liquid, and we measure the mass of
the .. with the liquid again, and this time the result is 250 g. Therefore the
liquid has a mass of .
., and its density expressed in S.I. units
is .. kg/m3.
The title of the experiment could be:
..............................
D Two identical cubic pieces, one made of wood and the other made of iron, have the
following dimensions: 45cm x 30cm x 20cm. We measure the mass of both of them
and we find 14.3kg for the wood piece and 212.5kg for the iron piece.
I. Without making any calculations, write down which of the two materials is denser:
wood or iron. Explain your answer.
................................................................................................................................
................................................................................................................................
II. What is the relationship between the density of iron and the density of wood. Bear in
mind that a relationship is a division, in this case, the division between the density
of iron and that of wood.

Why? How many litres of water could we put inside them?

THE PARTICLES THAT FORM MATTER
Read the text carefully and answer the following questions without looking them up in
your textbook:
All the matter that surrounds us is made up of some very small particles, called
atoms. To get an idea of its size imagine we made a line 1m in length formed of
carbon atoms: we would need almost 11 thousand million atoms. There are many
types of atoms: hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen,. Atoms can join
together forming a bigger unit of matter, called a molecule. These molecules can be
very simple, as for instance is the case with the ozone molecule, whose chemical
formula is O3, or they can be extraordinarily complex, as is the case with the vitamin
B12.

CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER
A The following text has some mistakes. Find them and then write down the text
correctly:
Matter can be classified according to its aspect in heterogeneous and homogeneous

mixtures. The first ones have a uniform aspect, that is, all their parts are equal, but
both are made up of different substances. For instance, sea water is made up of
(pure) water and different salts. All the substances are made up of very small particles,
called molecules, which join together, forming atoms.
