Physical Properties in Matter - Physical characteristics of objects can be described using shape, size, and mass whereas the materials from which objects are made can be described using color and texture. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:
Content | Skills | Learning Targets | Big Ideas | Essential Questions |
---|---|---|---|---|
4 - Integrate (Investigations)
2 - Describe (Physical characteristics of objects)
2 - Describe (Materials that make up objects)
|
4 - I can integrate process standards in an investigation to discover more about this standard.
2 - I can describe the physical properties of an object.
2 - I can describe the materials that make up objects.
|
A. Objects have physical properties.
B. Materials that make up objects have physical properties.

A.1 What are the physical properties that can be used to describe an object?
A.2 What are the physical properties for a given object?
B.1 What are the physical properties that can be used to describe the material that make up an object?
A.2 What are the physical properties for the material that make up a given object?

Matter has physical properties that can be measured (i.e., mass, volume, temperature, color, and texture). Changes in physical properties of objects can be observed, described, and measured using tools such as simple microscopes, gram spring scales, metric rulers, metric balances, and Celsius thermometers.
