[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.

[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.
[RCA-ST.6-8.7] -
Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).
[6.ETS.2.2] -
Given a design task, select appropriate materials based on specific properties needed in the construction of a solution.*
Clarification Statement: Examples of materials can include metals, plastics, wood, and ceramics.
[HS.ETS.2.4] -
Explain how manufacturing processes transform material properties to meet a specified purpose or function. Recognize that new materials can be synthesized through chemical and physical processes that are designed to manipulate material properties to meet a desired performance condition.
Clarification Statement: Examples of material properties can include resistance to force, density, hardness, and elasticity.
[HS.ETS.3.5] -
Analyze how the design of a building is influenced by thermal conditions such as wind, solar angle, and temperature. Give examples of how conduction, convection, and radiation are considered in the selection of materials for buildings and in the design of a heating system.
