Learning Targets
I can classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
Describe properties - for example - color, texture, hardness, size, flexibility.
Classify materials - determine if a matter is a solid, liquid or a gas.
I can determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.
Analyze data obtained from testing different materials (classroom paper towels vs. Bounty for absorbency, table vs. bed for a hard surface to write on, rope vs. elastic for flexibility or strength).
I can determine whether changes in matter through heating and cooling can or cant be reversed.
Demonstrate the position of the molecules in a solid, liquid, and gas.
Examples - reversible: water, butter,
- nonreversible: fried egg, dissolving powder in liquid

Analyze Materials
Compare two objects to see which is better for the purpose you are using it for.
