5-PS1-3

Essential Question:

"How can we use observations and measurements to accurately identify materials based on their properties, and why are standard units essential in this process?"

Portrait of a Graduate:

Students will use critical thinking to analyze the properties of materials and the importance of standard units in making accurate measurements. They will effectively communicate their findings and the significance of using standard units in scientific and everyday contexts.

Inquiry Question:

What are the key properties that can be used to identify different materials?

2. Inquiry Question:

How do standard units enhance the accuracy of our measurements and observations?

3. Inquiry Question:

Why is it important to be able to identify materials based on their properties in various contexts?

Student Outcomes:

Students will learn to identify materials by making observations and measurements of their properties, such as weight, temperature, and volume.

2. Student Outcomes:
