How do the structures and properties of matter affect experiments and phenomena involving forces, motion, and measurements?
Critical Thinking: Using knowledge of matter's properties to analyze and solve problems involving forces and motion.
Communication: Effectively explaining how the structures and properties of matter relate to physical phenomena and experimental results.
How do different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) respond differently to applied forces?
What role do density, elasticity, and viscosity play in understanding the motion and behavior of matter under different conditions?
How can we apply our knowledge of matter's properties to solve real-world problems involving forces and motion?
Students will conduct experiments to observe how variations in matter's properties affect outcomes in scenarios involving forces.
Students will apply concepts of density, elasticity, and viscosity to explain and predict the behavior of materials in practical applications.
Use of Scientific Tools and Units – Accurately measure mass, volume, temperature, and other properties using proper units and instruments.
Identify and Classify Matter – Differentiate between states of matter and classify substances based on physical and chemical properties.
Analyze Data and Make Predictions – Collect and interpret data from experiments to identify patterns and make informed predictions.
5-PS1-3: Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
MS-PS1-4: Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.
