Structure and Properties of Matter
Using the Science A-Z resources below will help students develop proficiency in Disciplinary Core Ideas, engage in Science and Engineering Practices, and recognize Crosscutting Concepts as they build toward fulfilling one or more of the grade 5 Performance Expectations related to Structure and Properties of Matter.- 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-PS1-4: Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
