Plan and carry out investigations to gather evidence to support an explanation on how heating or cooling can cause a phase change in matter.
In this unit, students are introduced to scientific exploration as they observe and test the properties of different kinds of matter. For this lesson, students continue their exploration of properties of matter by classifying different kinds of objects according to observable properties.
In this unit, students explore the phenomena of Earth landforms and the water cycle. Once students have modeled landforms and created maps showing the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water, students analyze how water moves over the land as it flows downhill because of gravity and cycles between solid and liquid depending on the amount of heat present.
