Skills
- measure (quantities of matter and substances) #dok1
- graph (quantities of matter before and after changes) #dok2
- provide evidence (to support that total weight of matter is conserved) #dok3
- analyze data (from measurements and graphs) #dok3
- explain (the relationship between type of change and conservation of total weight) #dok3
Learning Targets
- I can measure the quantities of matter before and after changes occur. #dok1
- I can graph quantities of matter to compare before and after a change. #dok2
- I can identify when the total weight of matter is conserved during heating, cooling, or mixing. #dok2
- I can analyze measurement and graph data to provide evidence that matter is conserved during changes. #dok3
- I can explain how heating, cooling, or mixing substances affects the total weight of matter. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Matter is neither created nor destroyed during physical changes; its total weight remains constant.
- Measuring and graphing can provide evidence for the conservation of matter in various scenarios.
Essential Questions
- How can you measure the amount of matter before and after a change occurs?
- What happens to the total weight of matter when substances are heated, cooled, or mixed?
- How does creating a graph help us understand what happens to matter during changes?
- Why is it important to gather evidence when studying how matter changes?
- In what ways can we show that matter is conserved during different types of changes?
