Properties and Physical Changes 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
2 - Describe (Physical characteristics of an object)
2 - Describe (Materials that make up an object)
4 - Integrate (Investigations)
|
2 - I can describe physical characteristics of an object.
2 - I can describe materials that make up an object.
4 - I can integrate process standards in an investigation to discover more about this standard.
|
A. All objects and the materials that make them have physical characteristics.
|
A.1 What physical characteristics does an object have?
A.2 What physical characteristics does an object's material that forms it have.
|
Mixtures can be classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous and can be separated by physical means.

Mixtures
|
2 - Classify (mixtures)
1 - Identify (methods to separate mixtures)
|
2 - classify a material into a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.
1 - identify methods to separate heterogeneous mixtures.
|
Using physical properties, mixtures may be separated into its individual substances.
Using physical properties, mixtures can be classified.
|
What is a homogeneous mixture?
What is a heterogeneous mixture?
How might a mixture be separated into its individual parts?
|
Matter has physical properties that can be measured (i.e., mass, volume, temperature, color, texture, and density). Physical changes of a substance do not alter the chemical nature of a substance (e.g., phase changes of water, sanding wood).
