Learning Outcomes:

1. describe physical properties that can be observed or measured

2. show an understanding of how mass and volume affect density

3. classify a number of common everyday objects and recognise that there are many ways of classifying the same group of objects

4. evaluate the usage of different materials using data of their physical properties, communicate findings on classification and justify reasons

5. estimate and measure accurately length, mass, and volume of matter using appropriate instruments and methods.

6. apply concepts of volume displacement to derive the volume of irregular objects

7. predict whether an object will sink or float by comparing its density with that of its surrounding medium

8. calculate density using the formula (density=mass/volume) and use the appropriate unit (e.g., g/cm3 or kg/m3)

9. show an awareness of the importance of making informed choices of the appropriate and sustainable use of materials for household products based on their physical properties

10. show an appreciation of how reducing the use of non-sustainable materials by using alternative materials with similar properties helps to minimise environmental impact
