PS1: Matter and its Interactions

 
Core Idea

PS1: Matter and Its Interactions

PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
PS1.B: Chemical Reactions
PS1.C: Nuclear Processes

 

In PS1: Matter and Its Interactions, performance expectations are designed for students to learn that matter of any type can be subdivided into particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means. Additionally, students will understand that when two or more different substances are mixed, a new substance with different properties may be formed.

 

5-PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.

5-PS1-2 Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.

5-PS1-3 Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

5-PS5-4 Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
