evaporates, it turns into water vapor in 

the air and can reappear as a liquid 

when cooled or as a solid if cooled 

below the freezing point of water. 

3c. Students know water vapor in the air 

moves from one place to another and 

can form fog or clouds, which are tiny 

droplets of water or ice, and can fall to 

Earth as rain, hail, sleet, or snow. 

3d. Students know that the amount of 

fresh water located in rivers, lakes, 

under-ground sources, and glaciers is 

limited and that its availability can be 

extended by recycling and decreasing 

the use of water.

1c. Students know metals have 

properties in common, such as high 

electrical and thermal conductivity. 

Some metals, such as aluminum (Al), 

iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), silver 

(Ag), and gold (Au), are pure elements; 

others, such as steel and brass, are 

composed of a combination of 

elemental metals. 





1g. Students know properties of solid, 

liquid, and gaseous substances, such 

as sugar (C 6 H 12 O 6 ), water (H 2 O), 

helium (He), oxygen (O 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), 

and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).
