Welcome to Room 504-2024-25
Students will know:
Mixtures and solutions can be investigated and compared. Matter is conserved when mixtures are formed.
Patterns can be found in the natural world and can help us understand how things work. Identifying patterns can help us explain scientific phenomena and design solutions to problems
There is a cause-and-effect relationship between things in the natural world. Investigating this relationship can help us explain scientific phenomena and solve problems
Scale, proportion, and quantity can be used to describe, compare, or model different systems in the natural world.
Students will be able to:
Investigate and compare a variety of mixtures, including solutions composed of liquids in liquids and solids in liquids.
Conduct experiments to create different mixtures, observe their properties, and describe how the components interact.
Identify and distinguish between mixtures and solutions, noting the characteristics that define each type.
Demonstrate that matter is conserved when mixtures such as soil and water or oil and water are formed.
Conduct experiments to mix different substances and measure their mass before and after mixing.
Understand that the total mass of the mixture is equal to the sum of the masses of its components, demonstrating the principle of conservation of matter.
Explain that, despite the mixing process, no matter is lost or gained, only redistributed.
Students will know:
Physical properties of matter, including size, mass, volume, temperature, magnetism, the ability to sink or float, and states of matter
The properties of matter determine how it is classified, changes, and used
Mixtures are a combination of two or more items
A solution is a special kind of mixture, where two or more items are combined and evenly distributed throughout
Students will be able to:
Measure, compare, and contrast physical properties of matter (solid, liquid, gas)
Predict changes caused by heating and cooling, such as evaporation and condensation
Collect, record, and analyze information using a variety of tools
Compare and contrast a variety of mixtures and solutions
Plan and conduct a descriptive investigation
