3. Unpacking the Science Essential Standards
Physical Science
Matter: Properties and Change
3.P.2 Understand the structure and properties of matter before and after they undergo a change.

4. Science Essential Standards
3.P.2 Understand the structure and properties of matter before and after they undergo a change.
3.P.2.1 Recognize that air is a substance that surrounds us, takes up space and has mass.
3.P.2.2 Compare solids, liquids, and gases based on their basic properties.
3.P.2.3 Summarize changes that occur to the observable properties of materials when different degrees of heat are applied to them, such as melting ice or ice cream, boiling water or an egg, or freezing water.

5. Unpacking the Science Essential Standards
Physical Science
Energy: Conservation and Transfer
3.P.3 Recognize how energy can be transferred from one object to another.

6. Science Essential Standards
3.P.3 Recognize how energy can be transferred from one object to another.
3.P.3.1 Recognize that energy can be transferred from one object to another by rubbing them against each other.
3.P.3.2 Recognize that energy can be transferred from a warmer object to a cooler one by contact or at a distance and the cooler object gets warmer.

7. Matter: Properties and ChangeK
K.P.2 Understand how objects are described based on their physical properties and how they are used.
K.P.2.1 Classify objects by observable physical properties (including size, color, shape, texture, weight and flexibility).
K.P.2.2 Compare the observable physical properties of different kinds of materials (clay, wood, cloth, paper, etc) from which objects are made and how they are used.
2nd
2.P.2 Understand properties of solids and liquids and the changes they undergo.
2.P.2.1 Give examples of matter that change from a solid to a liquid and from a liquid to a solid by heating and cooling.
2.P.2.2 Compare the amount (volume and weight) of water in a container before and after freezing.
2.P.2.3 Compare what happens to water left in an open container over time as to water left in a closed container.
4th
4.P.2 Understand the composition and properties of matter before and after they undergo a change or interaction.
4.P.2.1 Compare the physical properties of samples of matter (strength, hardness, flexibility, ability to conduct heat, ability to conduct electricity, ability to be attracted by magnets, reactions to water and fire).
4.P.2.2 Explain how minerals are identified using tests for the physical properties of hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak.
4.P.2.3 Classify rocks as metamorphic, sedimentary or igneous based on their composition, how they are formed and the processes that create them.

8. Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Describe each substance
Sort into solids, liquids, or gases
Create a definition for each
Solid Liquid Gas
Discuss:
What do you notice about the substances?
Why do you identify each one as a solid, liquid, or gas?
Which substances were the easiest/most difficult to put into categories? Why?

9. Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Which substances do you think students would have the most difficulty sorting?
Viscous liquids: fluid’s resistance to flow (sticky and gluey substances)
What’s the Matter with Teaching Children About Matter? by Palmeri, Cole, DeLisle, Erickson, & Janes Science and Children, NSTA Dec2008

10. Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Matter: anything that takes up space
Solid: substances that have a definite shape that does not change depending on the container
Liquid: substances that take the shape of their container
Gas: substances that take the form of their container and spread out to fill the container

11. Solids, Liquids, and Gases
Challenges:
Solids are hard.
Solids cannot break.
Liquids flow and fill the container.
Gases spread out to fill the container and liquids take the shape of the container.

12. Solids, Liquids and Gases by Ontario Science Centre
Properties of Air
Balloon Blow-up
Baking soda (solid) and vinegar (liquid) combine to produce a gas (carbon dioxide).

13. Solids, Liquids and Gases by Ontario Science Centre
Properties of Air
Empty Glass Trick
Huff ‘n Puff Trick
The glass and the bottle are full of air --- a mixture of gases.
Air takes up space.
Solids, Liquids and Gases by Ontario Science Centre

14. Properties of Air Strong Air
Air pushes up, down and sideways on everything it touches. This pushing power is called air pressure. The air pushed up on the cardboard more than the water and air inside the glass pushed down.
