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 Suggested Assessments
Concept I: Mass is conserved during any
physical or chemical change
a. Students will recognize that the mass of
water remains constant as it changes
state (as evidenced in a closed
container).
C8 a. Students will place ice cubes in a Ziploc bag
and record its mass. Students will set the
bag in a warm place and record mass after
they are melted. They will compare and
discuss the two measurements. (1.3; 2.4)
a. Students will design a lab using different
liquids to prove that the mass of an object does
not change depending on its state.
Strand 1: Properties and Principles of Matter and Energy
2. Energy has a source, can be transferred, and transformed into various forms
but is conserved between and within systems
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept A: Forms of energy have a source,
a means of transfer (work and heat) and a
receiver
a. Recognize that light can be transferred
from the source to the receiver (eye)
through space in straight lines.

a. Using a light source, students will project light
to a specific target. This activity can be done as
a game with teams pointing the light source at a
target before turning it on and measuring the
distance from the target. Laser pointers will
work better than flashlights for this activity.
(1.3; 4.6)
a. Using a mirror, students will bend light to hit a
target and predict the angle at which the light
will be reflected. This activity can be done as a
game with teams pointing the light source and
setting up the reflective source at a target before
turning it on and measuring the distance from the
target. This much is like light reflection darts.
