We will be starting a new science unit on Monday. Our new unit falls under the category of Understanding Matter and Energy and is titled Properties of and Changes in Matter. Students will understand the different states of matter and how changes occur. They will use the scientific method to investigate these changes. Experiments and hands-on tasks will highlight the following big ideas:
- There are three states of matter. (Overall expectations 2 and 3)
- Matter that changes state is still the same matter. (Overall expectations 2 and 3)
- Physical change refers to the fact that a substance can be changed from one form to another. (Overall expectations 2 and 3)
- Chemical change implies the formation of a new substance. (Overall expectations 2 and 3)
- The properties of materials determine their use and may have an effect on society and the environment. (Overall expectation 1)
