Core Idea - Matter and Its Interactions

[5.PS.1.3] - Make observations and measurements of substances to describe characteristic properties of each, including color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility. Clarification Statements: Emphasis is on describing how each substance has a unique set of properties. Examples of substances could include baking soda and other powders, metals, minerals, and liquids. State Assessment Boundary: Density, distinguishing mass and weight, or specific tests or procedures are not expected in state assessment.

Predecessor Standards:

  • 2.PS.1.1
    Describe and classify different kinds of materials by observable properties of color, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency.

Successor Standards:

  • 6.ETS.2.1
    Analyze and compare properties of metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics, including flexibility, ductility, hardness, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and melting point.

Same Level Standards:

  • 5.PS.1.4
    Conduct an experiment to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances with new properties (a chemical reaction) or not (a mixture).
