5-PS1-2

Essential Question:

"How can we use measurement and graphing to show that the total weight of matter remains constant during physical and chemical changes, and why is understanding matter conservation important?"

Portrait of a Graduate:

Students will apply critical thinking to investigate and understand the conservation of matter. They will communicate their findings and the significance of this concept through discussions, presentations, or reports.

Inquiry Question:

How does the weight of matter change during physical changes like melting or freezing?

2. Inquiry Question:

What happens to the weight of substances during a chemical reaction?

3. Inquiry Question:

Why is the conservation of matter a key principle in science?

Student Outcomes:

Students will measure and graph the weight of substances before and after undergoing physical and chemical changes to provide evidence of matter conservation.

2. Student Outcomes:

Students will analyze their data to understand that the total weight of matter remains constant, regardless of the type of change it undergoes.

3. Student Outcomes:

Students will discuss the importance of the law of conservation of matter in scientific studies and real-world applications.

Skills Demonstrated:

Modeling
Constructing Explanations

Standards:

5-PS1-2. Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
