Expectations

Matter and Energy, Grade 5 (Properties of and Changes in Matter)
There are three states of matter. Matter that changes state is still the same matter.  Physical change refers to the fact that a substance can be changed from one form to another. Chemical change implies the formation of a new substance.  The properties of materials determine their use and may have an effect on society and the environment.

  1. evaluate the social and environmental impacts of processes used to make everyday products;
  2. conduct investigations that explore the properties of matter and changes in matter;
  3. demonstrate an understanding of the properties of matter, changes of state, and physical and chemical change.
