PLC Questions I: What is it the student is to know and do?


Unit Goal: Students develop an understanding of the building blocks of matter and how physical and chemical changes lead to changes in properties but not changes in amount.

Common Language: atoms, molecules, properties, physical & chemical changes, volume, conservation of matter, mass (not necessary for MAP), weight, volume, reflectivity, and solubility

How can we model the properties and stuctures of matter and provide evidence of the conservation of matter?1st2nd3rd4th

5.PS1.A.1Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.

[Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence supporting a model could include adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water.]

* I can make a model to show that matter is made of particles that I can't see.

5.PS1.A.2Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.

[Clarification Statement: Examples of reactions or changes could include phase changes, dissolving, and mixing that form new substances.]

* I can make a graph that shows how the weight of a substance stays constant as it is mixed with other substances or its temperature is changed.		3 M

PLC Questions I: What is it the student is to know and do?

Unit Goal: When combining substances students will determine whether or not a change can be reversed and if so, how. Students will conduct an investigation to determine whether the combining of two or more substances results in a new substance.

Common Language: mixture, solution, compound, physical change, chemical change, sorting, filtration, magnet, screening, trial, test, investigate, substances, mix, combine, control, variable

5.PS1.B.1
Please teach this standard before/after the text resource. This is an MLS standard (NOT NGSS), and is not included in the text.		Plan and conduct investigations to separate the components of a mixture/solution by their physical properties (i.e., sorting, filtration, magnets, screening).

*I can separate parts of a mixture using appropriate tools.		3M

5.PS1.B.2
Please teach this standard before/after the text resource. This is an MLS standard (NOT NGSS), and is not included in the text.		Conduct an investigation to determine whether the combining of two or more substances results in new substances.

* I can decide whether a new substance has been created when substances have been mixed.		3M
