3. Create a model to show that all matter is made of tiny
particles we can’t see
4. Observe and measure materials to figure out what they
are by their properties
5. Look at data to help decide how to use materials based
on their properties
6. Conduct an investigation to find out if mixing
substances creates a new substance
