Prepared Graduates: ​ 1. Students can use the full range of science and engineering practices to make sense of natural phenomena and solve problems that require understanding structure, properties and interactions of matter. Grade Level Expectation: 1. Matter exists as different substances that have observable different properties. 1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. (2-PS1-1) (Clarification Statement: Observations could include color, texture, hardness and flexibility. Patterns could include the similar properties that different materials share.) 2. Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose. (2-PS1-2) (Clarification Statement: Examples of properties could include, strength, flexibility, hardness, texture and absorbency.) (Boundary Statement: Quantitative measurement is limited to length.) 3. Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object. (2-PS1-3) (Clarification Statement: Examples of pieces could include blocks, building bricks or other assorted small objects.)
