Essential Question(s):

How is matter classified?

How does matter change?

How are heat and temperature related?

Standard(s):

• MS-PS1-2. Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.

• MS-ETS1-1. Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.

• HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.

"I can" Statements:

• Classify chemical and physical changes.

• Relate specific heat, energy and temperature.
