I. How Temperature Affects Matter
- SCI.5.5A Classifymatter based on physical properties, including mass, magnetism, physical state solid, liquid, and gas, relative density sinking and floating, solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electric energy.
- SCI.5.5B Identify the boiling and freezing/melting points of water on the Celsius scale.
- SCI.3.5C Predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling.
- SCI.5.2D Analyze and interpret information to construct reasonable explanations from direct observable and indirect inferred evidence.
- SCI.5.3C Draw or develop a model that represents how something works or looks including systems and processes that cannot be seen
II. Relative Density
- SCI.5.5A Classifymatter based on physical properties, including mass, magnetism, physical state solid, liquid, and gas, relative density sinking and floating, solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electric energy.
- SCI.5.3D Connect grade-level appropriate science concepts with the history of science, science careers, and contributions of scientists.
