Water, Water Everywhere
If you have ever seen a photograph of Earth from space, you know that much of the planet is covered by water. Water makes life on Earth possible. If life as we know it exists on some other planet, water must be present to support that life.

Life’s Backbone
Most of the compounds that make up living things contain carbon. In fact, carbon makes up the basic structure, or “backbone,” of these compounds. Each atom of carbon has four electrons in its outer energy level, which makes it possible for each carbon atom to form four bonds with other atoms.
As a result, carbon atoms can form long chains. A huge number of different carbon compounds exist. Each compound has a different structure. For example, carbon chains can be straight or branching. Also, other kinds of atoms can be attached to the carbon chain.

Go to Section:
1. On a sheet of paper, make a list of at least ten things that contain carbon.
2. Working with a partner, review your list. If you think some things on your list contain only carbon, write “only carbon” next to them.
3. If you know other elements that are in any items on your list, write those elements next to them.

Matter and Energy
Have you ever sat around a campfire or watched flames flicker in a fireplace? The burning of wood is a chemical reaction—a process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals. A chemical reaction always involves changes in chemical bonds that join atoms in compounds. The elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction are called reactants. The elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction are called products. As wood burns, molecules of cellulose are broken down and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, and energy is released.

Go to Section:
1. What are the reactants when wood burns?
2. What are the products when wood burns?
3. What kinds of energy are given off when wood burns?
4. Wood doesn’t burn all by itself. What must you do to start a fire? What does this mean in terms of energy?
5. Once the fire gets started, it keeps burning. Why don’t you need to keep restarting the fire?
