7.12.1 Distinguish among elements, compounds and mixtures.

Accomplishment:  Differentiate among elements, compounds, and mixtures.

7.12.2 Identify and measure the simple properties of common substances.

Accomplishment:  Describe the particle arrangement associated with different states of matter.

Accomplishment:  Identify the mass, volume, density, boiling point, melting point, and solubility of a given substance.

Accomplishment:  Measure and/or calculate the mass, volume, density, and temperature of a given substance.

7.12.3 Understand that the periodic table is used as a tool for grouping elements.

Accomplishment:  Obtain information about an element with the aid of a periodic table.

At Level 1, the student is able to

7.12.spi.1    determine the measurable properties of matter and appropriate metric units (i.e. weight, mass, volume, density, size (length, width, height), temperature.)

 

At Level 2, the student is able to

7.12.spi.2   distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures (i.e. Na, Cl, NaCl, C, O2, CO2, H2, H20).

Resources:

At Level 3, the student is able to

7.12.spi.3    classify substances as elements or compounds from their symbols or formulas.

Resources:  

7.12.spi.4    compare the motion and arrangement of molecules in solids, liquids, and gases.

Distinguish between speed and velocity.

Expectation:   Determine the speed of an object based on the distance and amount of time traveled.

Expectation:   Differentiate between speed and velocity.

7.11.2 Demonstrate an understanding of Newton’s three laws of motion.

Expectation:   Describe how Newton’s three laws of motion explain the movement of objects.

7.11.3 Identify factors that influence the amount of gravitational force between objects.

Expectation:  Distinguish between mass and weight.

Expectation:   Describe the relationship among distance, size, mass, and gravitational force of objects.

7.11.4 Identify simple machines and their uses.

Expectation:   Differentiate among the six types of simple machines and their applications.

At Level 1, the student is able to

7.11.spi.1     recognize that forces cause changes in speed and/or the direction of motion
