Curriculum
S.3.1.B
Use scientific practices to plan and conduct descriptive investigations and use engineering practices to design solutions to problems
S.3.3.B
Communicate explanations and solutions individually and collaboratively in a variety of settings and formats
S.3.6.B
Describe and classify samples of matter as solids, liquids, and gases and demonstrate that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their container
S.3.6.C
Predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating or cooling in a variety of substances such as ice becoming liquid water, condensation forming on the outside of a glass, or liquid water being heated to the point of b...
