Enrichment Homework
  • Next Generation Science Standards:
    • PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
      Measurements of a variety of properties can be used to identify materials. (Boundary: At this grade level, mass and weight are not distinguished, and no attempt is made to define the unseen particles or explain the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation.) (5-PS1-3)
    • PS1.B: Chemical Reactions
      When two or more different substances are mixed, a new substance with different properties may be formed.
  • Washington State Health and PE Standards:
