Expectations

  • S8P1.a

    Develop and use a model to compare and contrast pure substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures.

  • S8P1.b

    Develop and use models to describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma states when thermal energy is added or removed.

  • S8P1.c

    Plan and carry out investigations to compare and contrast chemical (i.e., reactivity, combustibility) and physical (i.e., density, melting point, boiling point) properties of matter.

  • S8P1.d

    Construct an argument based on observational evidence to support the claim that when a change in a substance occurs, it can be classified as either chemical or physical.

  • S8P1.e

    Develop models (e.g., atomic-level models, including drawings, and computer representations) by analyzing patterns within the periodic table that illustrate the structure, composition, and characteristics of atoms (protons, neutrons, and electrons) and simple molecules.

  • S8P1.f

    Construct an explanation based on evidence to describe conservation of matter in a chemical reaction including the resulting differences between products and reactants.
