Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept A: Objects, and the materials
they are made of, have properties that can
be used to describe and classify them
Scope and Sequence – Properties of and
Changes in Matter
Grade 8
a. Recognize that matter is anything that
has mass and volume.
R
a. Students will measure the mass and volume
of matter. (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 2.3)
a. Students will define and describe matter.
b. Describe and compare the volumes (the
amount of space an object takes up) of
objects or substances directly using a
graduated cylinder and/or indirectly
using displacement methods.
R
W
C1-12
b. In a measurement lab, students will estimate
volumes of objects and substances. They
will compare estimate to actual
measurements in activities like Metric
Olympics. (1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 2.3,
4.1, 4.3, 4.6, 4.7)
b. Students will measure the volume of a
substance to the nearest milliliter.
c. Describe and compare the masses
(amount of matter) of objects to the
nearest gram using a balance.
R
W
C1-12
c. In a measurement lab, students will estimate
masses of objects. They will compare
estimates to actual measurements in
activities like Metric Olympics. (1.1, 1.2,
1.4, 1.5, 1.8, 2.3, 4.1,4.3, 4.6, 4.7)
c. Students will measure the mass of an
object to the nearest gram.
d. Classify the types of matter in an object
into pure substances or mixtures using
their specific physical properties .
R
W
C1-12
d. Students will identify mixtures and pure
substances in a laboratory investigation.(1.1,
1.2, 1.3, 1.8, 2.1,4.1, 4.3, 4.6, 4.7)
d. Students will classify examples as pure
substances or mixtures.
