Expectations

  • S5P1.a

    Plan and carry out investigations of physical changes by manipulating, separating and mixing dry and liquid materials.

  • S5P1.b

    Construct an argument based on observations to support a claim that the physical changes in the state of water are due to temperature changes, which cause small particles that cannot be seen to move differently.

  • S5P1.c

    Plan and carry out an investigation to determine if a chemical change occurred based on observable evidence (color, gas, temperature change, odor, new substance produced).
