The student is expected to identify and record observable physical properties of objects, including shape, color, texture, and material, and generate ways to classify objects.
A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
identify and record observable physical properties of objects, including shape, color, texture, and material, and generate ways to classify objects.
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);
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Patterns of similarities allow objects to be grouped and classified. When a student is given a set of objects and asked to determine how to classify them, students may use patterns that they notice in the physical properties of those objects to identify groups.
