STANDARD 5.6 (CHEMISTRY) ALL STUDENTS WILL GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRUCTURE AND BEHAVIOR OF MATTER.

 

Descriptive Statement:  Exploring the nature of matter and energy is essential to an understanding of the physical universe. This standard leads students from their experiences with the states and properties of matter to the development of models of the atom and the underlying principles of chemistry.

 

 

Cumulative Progress Indicators

 

Building upon knowledge and skills gained in preceding grades, by the end of Grade 6, students will:

 

 A.     Structure and Properties of Matter

 1.         Recognize that about 100 different elements have been identified and most materials on Earth are made of a few of them.

 2.         Show that equal volumes of different substances usually have different masses.

 3.         Describe the properties of mixtures and solutions, including concentration and saturation. 

 4.         Describe characteristic physical properties such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility, and recognize that the property is independent of the amount of sample.

 

B.     Chemical Reactions

 1.        Recognize evidence of a chemical change.
