1.i. People once thought that earth, wind, fire, and water were the basic elements that made up all matter. Science experiments show that there are over 100 different types of atoms which are displayed on the Periodic Table of the Elements.||CA Science||Grade 3||01. Physical Sciences||1. Energy and matter have multiple forms and can be changed from one form to another.|||1.d. Each element is made of one kind of atom. These elements are organized in the Periodic Table by their chemical properties.||CA Science||Grade 5||01. Physical Sciences||1. Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world.|||3.f. How to use the Periodic Table to identify elements in simple compounds.||Grade 8||01. Physical Sciences||3. Structure of Matter||3. Elements have distinct properties and atomic structure. All matter is comprised of one or more of over 100 elements.
