Big Ideas
- Matter can change its physical properties through different processes.
- Investigating how processes affect matter helps us understand how materials are used and changed in everyday life.
Essential Questions
- What processes can change the physical properties of matter?
- How do processes like cutting, folding, or melting affect the way matter looks or feels?
- Why is it important to investigate and explain how matter can change?
- What evidence can we collect to show how matter changes during an investigation?
- How do people use changes in matter in their daily lives?
