The student is expected to classify matter based on physical properties,
including mass, magnetism, physical state (solid, liquid, and gas),
relative density (sinking and floating), solubility in water, and the
ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electric energy.

Vocabulary:
Matter: Anything that has
mass and takes up space
Mass: The amount of matter
in an object
Properties: Appearances of
an object including: mass, magnetism, physical state, relative density,
solubility, and the ability to insulate or conduct heat or electricity
Magnetism: The property of
attraction to a magnet
Physical State: The
classification of matter as a solid, a liquid or a gas
Relative Density: Objects
that are more dense sink in water; less dense objects float in water
Solubility: Measurement of
the ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid
Thermal Energy: Energy that
causes a change in temperature between materials
Electrical Energy: Energy
produced by the movement of electrons
Conductor: Material that
allows electric current or heat energy to flow through easily
Insulator: Material that
slows down or stops electric current or heat from flowing
Classify: Group together
based on similar traits
