MS-PS1-5 Matter and Its Interactions
|
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved. |
Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on law of conservation of matter and on physical models or drawings, including digital forms, that represent atoms.
|
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the use of atomic masses or intermolecular forces. |

Disciplinary Core Ideas
|
Energy and Matter:
|
Developing and Using Models:
- Modeling in 6â8 builds on Kâ5 and progresses to developing, using and revising models to describe, test, and predict more abstract phenomena and design systems.
- Develop a model to describe unobservable mechanisms.
|
Chemical Reactions:
- Substances react chemically in characteristic ways.
- In a chemical process, the atoms that make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have different properties from those of the reactants.
- The total number of each type of atom is conserved, and thus the mass does not change.
Science Models, Laws, Mechanisms, and Theories Explain Natural Phenomena:
- Laws are regularities or mathematical descriptions of natural phenomena.
