*What are properties of matter?
*What are states of matter?
Our first investigation in this unit consisted of reviewing properties that can be used to classify matter through a classification-based investigation.During our second investigation, we took a closer look at seven common objects (paper clip, clay cube, marble, pair of scissors, etc) and identified the color, shape, luster, texture, and mass of each. We also tested each object to see if it contained any magnetic properties.
Our next task will be to explore the states of matter through a virtual lab experience (Gizmos). We will also read in our textbooks (Lessons 1-2, pages 152-161) as a way of reviewing and connecting all of the pieces of our learning together. Stay tuned for our next Science Lab update. :-)
Students, find an interesting object in your home. Leave a comment to share at least 4 physical properties of this object. Be sure to also identify the object you are describing. :-)
