Unit 1: Matter
STANDARD: S8P1 Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the structure and properties of matter.
ELEMENT: S8P1.d Construct an argument based on observational evidence to support the claim that when a change in a substance occurs, it can be classified as either chemical or physical.
LEARNING TARGETS: (Clarification statement: Evidence could include ability to separate mixtures, development of a gas, formation of a precipitate, change in energy, color, and/or form.)
- I can identify changes in objects and/or substances as physical or chemical. (Knowledge)
- I can compare and contrast physical and chemical changes. (Reasoning)
- I can classify changes in objects and/or substances as physical or chemical. (Reasoning)
- I can discuss the relationship of heat, energy and change in a substance. (Reasoning)
- I can justify evidence to support claims when physical or chemical changes occur. (Reasoning)
- I can construct an argument based on observational evidence to support the claim for when changes in substances are classified as physical or chemical. (Product).
