Content Source:

PBS

Type:

Interactive/Game

Overview:

Make peace with glossaries and charts as you learn to use these text features to find and record information on matter, its properties, and how it is measured. A hippie hippo will make learning to observe and measure matter seem a little bit groovy for all ages.

Content Standard(s):

Science
SC2015 (2015)
Grade: 5

3 ) Examine matter through observations and measurements to identify materials (e.g., powders, metals, minerals, liquids) based on their properties (e.g., color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, solubility, density).

NAEP Framework

NAEP Statement::
P4.1: Objects and substances have properties. Weight (mass) and volume are properties that can be measured using appropriate tools.*

NAEP Statement::
P4.3: Matter exists in several different states; the most common states are solid, liquid, and gas. Each state of matter has unique properties. For instance, gases are easily compressed while solids and liquids are not. The shape of a solid is independent of its container; liquids and gases take the shape of their containers.

Unpacked Content

Scientific And Engineering Practices:

Planning and Carrying out Investigations

Crosscutting Concepts: Scale, Proportion, and Quantity

Disciplinary Core Idea: Matter and Its Interactions

Evidence Of Student Attainment:

Students:

Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

Teacher Vocabulary:

color
hardness
reflectivity
electrical conductivity
thermal conductivity
response to magnetic forces
solubility
density
measurement (quantitative and qualitative)
data
observable properties
standard units
conductors
nonconductors
magnetic
nonmagnetic

Knowledge:

Students know:

Materials have different properties-color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity thermal conductivity, solubility, and density.
Measurements of a variety of properties can be used to identify materials.
Measurements should be made in standard units (e.g., grams & liters).

Skills:

Students are able to:

Identify the phenomenon through observations about materials, including color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility.
Identify the evidence and collect data about the observed objects in standard units (e.g., grams, liters).
Collaboratively plan the investigation.
Identify materials based on their properties.

Understanding:

Students understand that:

Standard units are used to measure and describe physical quantities of materials such as weight, time, temperature, and volume. These measurements will assist in the identification of the materials ( e.g. powders, metals, minerals, and liquids).
