LEARNING STANDARDS INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE

Next Generation Science Standards

NGSS2-PS1-1

Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. Observations could include color, texture, hardness, and flexibility. Patterns could include the similar properties that different materials share.

NGSS2-PS1-2

Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. Examples of properties could include, strength, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency. Assessment of quantitative measurements is limited to length.

NGSS2-PS1-4

Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot. Examples of reversible changes could include materials such as water and butter at different temperatures. Examples of irreversible changes could include cooking an egg, freezing a plant leaf, and heating paper.

Texas Essential of Knowledge and Skills

Science

SCI.2.2.A

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student develops abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry in classroom and outdoor investigations. The student is expected to: ask questions about organisms, objects, and events during observations and investigations.

SCI.2.2.B

SCI.2.2.C

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student develops abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry in classroom and outdoor investigations. The student is expected to: collect data from observations using scientific tools.

SCI.2.2.E

Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student develops abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry in classroom and outdoor investigations. The student is expected to: communicate observations and justify explanations using student-generated data from simple descriptive investigations.

SCI.2.5.A

Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has physical properties and those properties determine how it is described, classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to: classify matter by physical properties, including relative temperature, texture, flexibility, and whether material is a solid or liquid.

SCI.2.5.B

Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has physical properties and those properties determine how it is described, classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to: compare changes in materials caused by heating and cooling.

SCI.2.5.C

Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has physical properties and those properties determine how it is described, classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to: demonstrate that things can be done to materials such as cutting, folding, sanding, and melting to change their physical properties.

SCI.2.5.C

Matter and energy. The student knows that matter has physical properties and those properties determine how it is described, classified, changed, and used. The student is expected to: demonstrate that things can be done to materials such as cutting, folding, sanding, and melting to change their physical properties.
