3.SCI.6.C
Predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling in a variety of substances such as ice becoming liquid water, condensation forming on the outside of a glass, or liquid water being heated to the point of becoming water vapor (gas).

Learning Targets
- I can observe changes when matter is heated or cooled, such as ice turning to liquid water or water becoming vapor. #dok1
- I can record what happens to substances when they change state because of heating or cooling. #dok1
- I can predict what will happen if a substance is heated or cooled, such as whether it will melt, freeze, evaporate, or condense. #dok2
- I can explain how heating and cooling cause substances to change from one state of matter to another. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Heating and cooling can cause substances to change between solid, liquid, and gas states.
- The state of matter of a substance can be observed and recorded through simple changes in temperature.
Essential Questions
- How does heating or cooling affect the state of matter of different substances?
- What are some examples of matter changing state in everyday life?
- What evidence can we observe and record when a substance changes from one state to another?
- How can you predict what will happen to matter when it is heated or cooled?
- Why do some changes of state (like melting or evaporation) happen more easily with certain substances?
