Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 2||Physical Science||Matter and its Interactions|||Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. [ Examples: adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, & evaporating salt water.]||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 5||Physical Science||Matter and its Interactions|||Make observations & measurements to identify materials based on their properties. [Examples of properties: color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, & solubility; density is not intended as an identifiable property.]||Next Generation Science Standards||Grade 5||Physical Science||Matter and its Interactions|||Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, & state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. ||Next Generation Science Standards||Middle School||Physical Science||Matter and Its Interactions |||Construct & revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, & knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties. ||Next Generation Science Standards||High School||Physical Science||Matter and Its Interactions

1.a. Objects can be described in terms of the materials they are made of (clay, cloth, paper, etc.) and their physical properties (color, size, shape, weight, texture, flexibility, attraction to magnets, floating and sinking, etc.).||CA Science||Grade Kindergarten||01. Physical Science||1. Properties of materials can be observed, measured and predicted.|||1.f. Differences in chemical and physical properties of substances are used to separate mixtures and identify compounds.||CA Science||Grade 5||01. Physical Sciences||1. Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world.|||1.g. Properties of solid, liquid, and gaseous substances, such as sugar (C₆H₁₂O₆), water (H₂O), helium (He), oxygen (O₂), nitrogen (N₂), and carbon dioxide (CO₂).||CA Science||Grade 5||01. Physical Sciences||1. Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world.|||8.a. Density is mass per unit volume.||Grade 8||01. Physical Sciences||8. Density and Buoyancy||8. All objects experience a buoyant force when immersed in a fluid.|||8.b. How to calculate the density of substances (regular and irregular solids, and liquids) from measurements of mass and volume.||Grade 8||01. Physical Sciences||8. Density and Buoyancy||8. All objects experience a buoyant force when immersed in a fluid.|||8.c. The buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid it has displaced.||Grade 8||01. Physical Sciences||8. Density and Buoyancy||8. All objects experience a buoyant force when immersed in a fluid.|||8.d. How to predict whether an object will float or sink.||Grade 8||01. Physical Sciences||8. Density and Buoyancy||8. All objects experience a buoyant force when immersed in a fluid.
