SCIENCE.3.6.B — Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
classify objects by observable physical properties, including, shape, color, and texture, and attributes such as larger and smaller and heavier and lighter;
classify matter by observable physical properties, including texture, flexibility, and relative temperature, and identify whether a material is a solid or liquid;
measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float in water;
describe and classify samples of matter as solids, liquids, and gases and demonstrate that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their container;
classify and describe matter using observable physical properties, including temperature, mass, magnetism, relative density (the ability to sink or float in water), and physical state (solid, liquid, gas);
Recurring themes and concepts — Connections to the content
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
There are patterns in the properties of each state that allow matter to be classified as solid, liquid, or gas.
