Unit 2: Matter and Energy: Physical Properties (26 Days)
Classify matter based on measurable, testable and observable physical properties, including
Mass, magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid and gas), relative density (sink and float), solubility in water, ability to conduct or insulate thermal or eclectic energy
Demonstrate that some mixtures maintain physical properties of their ingredients such as iron filings and sand OR sand and water
Identify changes that can occur in the physical properties of the ingredients of solutions
Predict, Observe and Record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling
