5.6A Properties of Matter (RS)
Students compare and contrast matter based on measurable, testable, or observable physical properties, including mass, magnetism, relative density (sinking and floating using water as a reference point), physical state (solid, liquid, gas), volume, solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy and electric energy.
5.6A Properties of Matter (RS) 5.6A INTERACTIVE SLIDES
Vocabulary:
electrical energy: energy caused by the movement of electrical charges.
conductor: a material that transfers energy easily.
insulator: a material that reduces or prevents the transfer of energy.
density: the amount of matter in an object compared to the space it takes up.
solubility: How much of a substance will dissolve in a given amount of a different substance.
volume: The amount of space an object takes up.
dissolve: to completely mix two substances
physical state: a form of matter such as a solid, liquid, or gas
mass: the amount of matter in an object
Explore/Explain I can measure and calculate the volume of solids and liquids.
Students will understand that volume is a property that can be used to compare and contrast matter. Volume is the space an object takes up. It can be measured using different units and tools for solids and liquids.
Students will be able to
measure volume of solids and liquids
use calculators, rulers, and graduated cylinders to measure volume
use mathematical calculations to look for patterns in volume

Explore/Explain (TEKS 5.6.A) I can measure masses and test relative densities of objects.
Students will understand that while mass and density are both properties of matter and are related, they are not the same. They will also understand that mass alone cannot be used to determine whether an object is more or less dense than water.
Students will be able to
predict properties of sinking and floating objects
measure the mass of objects using a pan balance
look for patterns related to relative density
Explore/Explain (TEKS 5.6.A) I can test whether solids and liquids are soluble in water.
Students will understand that solubility in water is a property of matter. Students will also understand that matter in liquid and solid states can be soluble and insoluble in water.
Students will be able to
demonstrate safe practices while testing for solubility
communicate and listen to others’ ideas about solubility
analyze data looking for stability and change
Explore/Explain (TEKS 5.6.A) I can test materials that conduct or insulate electrical energy and are magnetic.
Students will understand that matter can be compared based on whether it conducts electrical energy.
Students will understand that not all metals are magnetic.
Students will be able to
use circuits to test conductors and insulators.
use magnets to test materials.
identify patterns to explain materials that are conductors and materials that are insulators.

Explore/Explain (TEKS 5.6.A) I can test materials that conduct or insulate electrical energy.
Students will understand that some matter conducts thermal energy, and some matter insulates thermal energy. Conductors transfer energy more easily than insulators.
Students will be able to
use Celsius thermometers to collect data about thermal conductors and insulators
construct and complete a table with collected measurements
construct a line graph to compare patterns of thermal conductors and insulators

5.6B Properties of Mixtures (SS)
5.6B Students explore that some mixtures maintain properties of their original substances.
Vocabulary
mixture: a combination of two or more different substances in which the substances keep their identities(physical properties)
physical property: observable characteristics of matter that can be used to identify particular materials
system: whole made of parts that work together.
substance: a kind of matter with uniform properties (ex: salt, water)
maintain: to keep or to stay the same

EXTRA STAAR PRACTICE Questions
Iron Filings and Water I can communicate what I know about physical properties of mixtures. I can use scientific practices and tools to demonstrate and explain that iron filings and water maintain their physical properties in a mixture.
Students will be able to
use tools and scientific practices to conduct an investigation
evaluate the design of the experiment
explain that some mixtures maintain the physical properties of their substances
.6C Conservation of Matter-Vocabulary
solution: a mixture that has the same composition throughout because all its parts are mixed evenly
dissolve: to completely mix two substances
conservation of matter: a science concept that states that matter cannot be made or destroyed, however it can change into a new form
conserved: to keep
composition: what something is made of
How matter is conserved.
Students will understand that while some mixtures are easy to identify, such as salad, others are so well blended that it’s difficult to tell they contain more than one thing, such as ocean water.
Students will be able to
Investigate solutions
Demonstrate how matter is conserved
Calculate conservation of matter
Analyze data to explain that matter is conserved.
Students will understand that the components of a solution can be separated back through evaporation that the mass of the dissolved substance is conserved.
Students will be able to
explain how matter is conserved
use scientific tools such as a digital scale to collect data
collect and analyze data to draw conclusions
5.6D Particles of Matter (SS)
5.6D compare and contrast matter based on measurable, testable, or observable physical properties, including mass, magnetism, relative density (sinking and floating using water as a reference point), physical state (solid, liquid, gas), volume, solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy and electric energy.
Display 5.6D Particles of Matter- Vocabulary SPAN
Day 1 - Vocabulary:
particle: a piece of matter that is too small to be seen with the unaided eye
solid: the state of matter that has a definite shape and definite volume
liquid: the state of matter that has definite volume but has a shape that can change
gas: the state of matter that does not have a definite shape or volume
definite: does not change
5.6D Day 2 Hands-On Activity SPAN Students will understand that air is a gas made up of particles too small to be seen, but they do take up space and can move from one place to another.
Conclusion: CER
Day 3: Gases have weight experiment.
Day 4: People in Science SPAN Why are bubbles different shapes?
