By the end of this unit students should be able to
- Compare and contrast the basic properties of solids, liquids, and gases, such as mass, volume, color, texture, and temperature.
- Investigate and identify materials that will dissolve in water and those that will not and identify the conditions that will speed up or slow down the dissolving process.
- Demonstrate and explain that mixtures of solids can be separated based on observable properties of their parts such as particle size, shape, color, and magnetic attraction.
- Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also called atomic theory) by recognizing that all matter is composed of parts that are too small to be seen without magnification.
- Investigate and describe that many physical and chemical changes are affected by temperature.
