4. Reading - The Night of San Juan (page 209)
A suffix is a word part added to the end of a
base word to change its meaning.
Sometimes you need to drop a final e or
change a y to i when adding a suffix.
What does hesitation mean in the second
paragraph on page 216?
5. Reading - The Night of San Juan (page 209)
The suffix -ion has been added to the base word hesitate to
make the word hesitation, and the final e has been dropped.
The suffix -ion means "the act of," so the word hesitation
means "the act of hesitating."
In the dictionary, the word hesitating means "holding back
because of doubt or fear." So the word hesitation means
"the act of holding back because of doubt."
Amalia is brave when she meets Jose Manuel's grandmother,
so she acts without holding back.

22. Science - What Are Chemicals Properties and Changes? (page 456)
Fast Fact
Match-Making When it comes
to chemistry, matches can't be
matched! It takes more than
30 ingredients to make a
match flammable, or able to
burn. Some matches are made
with the elements phosphorus,
potassium, chlorine, and
oxygen. Burning is one sign of a
chemical reaction.
Do Now
What evidence of a chemical change do you see when you
strike a match?
How can you tell that the match changed chemically after it
burns?

Infer
What's in Cereal?
Tanya's science teacher told the class that chemical elements are added to
fortified cereal while the cereal is being made. The elements are heated,
stamped, cooked, pressed, and dried, but they remain in their elemental form. The
teacher poured some fortified cereal in a bowl and crushed it to a fine powder.
She mixed the powder with a large amount of water. She taped a bar magnet to a
glass rod and used it to stir the cereal and water. When she pulled out the
magnet, tiny bits of a solid, dark material were clinging to the magnet.
1. What can Tanya infer about the dark bits of solid material clinging to the
magnet? Why?
They must be iron or some other metals with magnetic properties because the bits
are clinging to the magnet.
2. Tanya inferred that the teacher made a mixture of the cereal and water,
but not a solution. Why?
Perhaps because she could see little pieces of cereal and the dark iron in the
mixture OR perhaps because the magnet pulled out solid pieces of iron.
3. What can Tanya infer about whether the iron changed chemically during
the manufacturing of the cereal?
It didn't change because her teacher was able to remove it in the same form.
