SC.8.P.8.4 (Level 2) – Classify and compare substances on the basis of characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured; for example, density, thermal or electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetic properties, melting and boiling points, and know that these properties are independent of the amount of the sample. |
Learning Targets and Learning Criteria |
I am learning to identify and classify a substance based on its physical properties(N.1.1) Thermal conductivity (conductor or insulator), electrical conductivity (conductor or insulator), solubility, magnetism, melting and boiling points, density (D=M/V) I am learning to classify and compare substances based on the characteristics of their physical properties I am learning to explain how the physical properties of matter are independent of the amount sampled, density and conductivity I am learning to differentiate between mass and weight. I am learning to calculate the density, mass or volume of a substance using the formula; Density = mass ÷ volume I am learning to classify and sequence various substances in order of increasing or decreasing densities of a liquid sample. I am learning to describe the motion of particles in solids, liquids, and gases dependent on their kinetic energy solid- lowest average kinetic energy, liquid o gas- highest average kinetic energy I am learning to predict what happens to the motion of particles during a phase change with addition/removal of energy. Differentiate among the four states of matter (solid, liquid, gas and plasma) in terms of energy, particle motion, and phase transitions I am learning to differentiate between physical and chemical changes in matter (N.1.6, N.1.1) I am learning to cite examples of physical and chemical changes in matter I am learning to investigate indicators of physical and chemical changes in matter I am learning to explain how temperature influences chemical changes (N.1.1, N.1.4) Heat speeds up reaction/Cold slows the reaction I am learning to explain why mass is conserved when substances undergo physical and chemical changes according to the Law of Conservation of Mass I am learning to differentiate between a law and a theory (N.3.1) I am learning to design an investigation that explores the law of conservation of mass using models, such as: (N.1.1) o experiments and demonstrations |
