| K-7 STANDARD P.PM: PROPERTIES OF MATTER Develop an understanding that all matter has observable attributes with physical and chemical properties that are described, measured, and compared. Understand that states of matter exist as solid, liquid, or gas; and have physical and chemical properties. Understand all matter is composed of combinations of elements, which are organized by common attributes and characteristics on the Periodic Table. Understand that substances can be classified as mixtures or compounds and according to their physical and chemical properties. |
|
| P.PM.M.1 Chemical Properties - Matter has chemical properties. The understanding of chemical properties helps to explain how new substances are formed. |
Food Science - Students will answer questions and perform developmentally appropriated experiments pertaining to food chemistry. Science Crime Busters - The objective is to correctly identify the perpetrators of a crime or crimes by using paper chromatography and analysis of unknown solids, liquids, and plastics found at the scene of a crime. Students may also be asked to interpret the results of DNA evidence, identify hair, fibers, shoe prints, tire treads and fingerprints. |
| P.PM.M.2 Elements and Compounds - Elements are composed of a single kind of atom that are grouped into families with similar properties on the periodic table. Compounds are composed of two or more different elements. Each element and compound has a unique set of physical and chemical properties such as boiling point, density, color, conductivity, and reactivity. | Food Science - Students will answer questions and perform developmentally appropriated experiments pertaining to food chemistry. |
