In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will

• make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties (5.7)

• define matter (5.7 a)

• construct a simple model to show that matter is composed of atoms and identify the advantages and the limitations of the model (5.7 a)

• plan and conduct an experiment to separate two or more types of matter within a mixture (5.7 b)

• explain the role of energy in changing the phase of matter of a substance (5.7 c)

• measure and graph quantities to demonstrate that, regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total mass of matter is unchanged (5.7 c).
