Properties of Matter
| In the
Properties of Matter unit, students will be able to
classify substances by their physical and chemical
properties. In addition, students will be able to
demonstrate that new substances can be made when two or
more substances are chemically combined and compare the
properties of the new substances to the original
substances. Critical Questions
- Why is it important to understand and use safety
procedures when in a science laboratory?
- How do students carry out the scientific process
when solving problems in the science classroom?
- How do students use critical thinking and problem
solving skills to make informed decisions?
- Why do scientists classify substances?
- How are chemical changes of matter recognized?
