Learning Targets
- I can describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen by developing a model. #dok3
- I can measure and graph quantities to show that the total weight of matter is conserved during heating, cooling, or mixing. #dok2
- I can make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. #dok2
- I can conduct an investigation to determine whether mixing substances results in new substances. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Matter is made up of tiny particles that are too small to see, but their presence and behavior can be observed through evidence and models.
- The properties and interactions of matter—such as changes in state, the conservation of weight, and the results of mixing—can be measured, observed, and explained through scientific processes.
Essential Questions
- What evidence supports the idea that all matter is made of particles too small to see?
- How can we show that the total weight of matter stays the same during physical and chemical changes?
- What properties can we use to identify different materials?
- How can we tell if mixing two substances creates a new substance?
- Why is it important to measure, observe, and model matter and its interactions?
