Big Ideas
- Materials have unique properties that can be observed and measured to help identify them.
- Observations and measurements provide evidence for identifying and differentiating materials.
Essential Questions
- How can we use observations and measurements to identify unknown materials?
- What types of properties can we observe and measure in different materials?
- Why is it important to use evidence when identifying materials?
- How do scientists use observations and measurements to classify or identify materials?
- What challenges might we encounter when identifying materials based on their properties?
