Grade Level: 5 Title of Unit: Structures and Property of Matter Stage 1 - Desired Results Understandings: Students will understand that… Because matter exists as particles that are too small to see, matter is always conserved even if it seems to disappear. Measurements of a variety of observable properties can be used to identify particular materials. Chemical reactions that occur when substances are mixed can be identified by the emergence of substances with different properties; but the total mass remains the same. Essential Questions: How can I describe matter when it is made up of particles too small to be seen? Why is the total weight of matter conserved regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved? How can I use a material’s properties to identify the material? How can I use two or more different substances to make a new substance, and why will this result in a change of properties? Knowledge: Students will know… Matter is made of particles too small to be seen through the development of a model. The amount (weight) of matter is conserved when it changes form, even in transitions in which it seems to vanish. No matter what reaction or change in properties occurs, the total weight of the substances does not change When two or more different substances are mixed, a new substance with different properties may be formed.
