Learning Targets
- I can make observations of materials and objects to identify their properties. #dok1
- I can describe observable properties of different kinds of materials. #dok2
- I can classify materials by their properties after investigation. #dok2
- I can plan and conduct investigations to explore and classify materials by their properties. #dok3
- I can analyze data from tests to determine which materials are best for a specific purpose. #dok3
- I can construct an evidence-based account of how objects can be taken apart and reassembled into new objects. #dok3
- I can construct an argument using evidence that some changes from heating or cooling are reversible and some are not. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Materials have different observable properties that can be measured, described, and used to classify them.
- Objects and materials can undergo changes, and some changes are reversible while others are not, depending on the process such as heating or cooling.
Essential Questions
- How can we investigate and describe the properties of different materials?
- How do the properties of a material determine its best use for a specific purpose?
- What happens when we break objects into pieces or put them together in new ways?
- How do heating and cooling affect materials, and which changes can be reversed?
- Why is it important to use evidence when making claims about material changes?
