Mystery Matter Essential Question: What evidence can you provide to show that, "The mass of the whole object is equal to the sum of its parts"? What evidence can you provide to show that matter is affected by physical and chemical change?

Enduring Understandings	Resources
Conservation of Matter The mass of the object is equal to the sum of its parts.	Magnification Activity: Electron Microscope Observe a variety of samples of matter under an electron microscope. Conservation Of Mass Explore the relationship between the mass of the object and the sum of it's parts.Explore the relationship between the mass of the object and the sum of it's parts.
States of Matter Heating and cooling cause changes in states of matter.	Changing States of Matter Observe and categorize examples of matter changing state. Changing State Use this interactive site to explore how heating and cooling change the states of matter, solids, liquids and gases. Water on Earth Based on data, students will explain the importance of water's ability to exist in all three states within the temperatures normally found on Earth.
Physical and Chemical Changes The properties of matter can change physically or chemically.	Physical and Chemical Changes Distinguish between physical and chemical changes. Chemical Reactionss Explore everyday chemical reactions.Explore everyday chemical reactions. Careers in Science: Careers that Use Chemistry Learn about jobs that involve chemistry. Play these interactive games and experiments to learn more about physical and chemical changes!
Required Lab: Separation Solution	Resources
Student Outcome: The students will investigate and describe what happens to the properties of materials when several materials are combined to make a mixture.	Mixtures Conduct a lab separating substances from various mixtures based on physical properties.
Project: Back to School Mix Up!	Resources
Driving Question: How can we apply our knowledge about mixtures and the physical properties of matter to create a new product?

Content Standard: 4.5.C.1.a Observe and describe the changes that heating and cooling cause to the different states in which water exists. 4.5.C.1.b. Based on data, explain the importance of water's ability to exist in all three states within the temperatures normally found on Earth. 4.5.C.1.c Analyze data from observations to support the idea that when materials change from one state to another the amount of material stays the same.
