Strand 1: Properties and Principles of Matter and Energy
1. Changes in the properties and states of matter provide evidence of the atomic theory
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities
These samples activities offer ideas and are
not meant to limit teacher or student
Concept A: Objects, and the materials they are
made of, have properties that can be used to
describe and classify them
Scope and Sequence – Physical and Chemical
Properties and Changes of Matter

Suggested Assessments
These samples assessments offer ideas and are
not meant to limit teacher or student
resourcefulness
a. Recognize that elements (unique atoms) and
compounds (molecules or crystals) are pure
substances that have characteristic properties
T
R
a. Students will use laboratory
investigations to demonstrate the
formation of new materials. (1.1; 1.2; 1.3;
2.1; 2.7; 3.4; 3.5)
a. From examples, students will determine
the characteristics of various substances.
b. Describe the physical and chemical properties
(e.g. magnetic attraction, conductivity,
melting point and boiling point, reactivity) of
pure substances (elements or compounds)
(e.g. copper wire, aluminum wire, iron,
charcoal, sulfur, water, salt, sugar, sodium
bicarbonate, galena, quartz, magnetite, pyrite)
using appropriate senses and tools

b. Students will use laboratory
investigations to determine the physical
and chemical characteristics in a variety
of samples of elemental and compound
substances. (1.1; 1.2; 1.3; 2.1;, 2.7; 3.4;
3.5)
b. Students will classify samples as metals
(magnetic and non-magnetic), electrically
conductive, insulators, etc.
Concept B: Properties of mixtures depend
upon the concentrations, properties and
interactions of particles
