Solids and liquids have unique properties that distinguish them Solids and liquids have unique properties that distinguish them. End of unit Performance Task Solids and Liquids End of Unit Performance Task Student Outcomes Core Concepts: Nature of Science Literacy Standard a. Analyze and interpret observations about solids and liquids and their unique properties. (DOK 1-3) b. Identify the similarities and differences of two or more groups of solids or liquids. (DOK 1-2) c. Classify solids and liquids based on their properties, and justify your choice based on evidence. (DOK 1-3) Solids and liquids are states of matter. Objects are described and identified by their properties. Objects are made on one or more materials. Solids keep their shape. Liquids move freely and take the shape of a container. Liquids pour and flow. Solid materials can occur as masses of small particles. Particulate solids can be separated by size. Some solids change when mixed with water; others do not. 1. Share results of experiments with others. (DOK 1-2) 2. Recognize that observations are an important part of science. (DOK 1) 3. Conduct collaborative experiments. (DOK 2-4) RI 1.7 Use the illustrations and details in a text to describe its key ideas. RI 1.9 Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same topic (e.g., in illustrations, descriptions, or procedures). Writing Standard W 1.8 With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. W 1.2 Write informative/ explanatory texts in which they name a topic, supply some facts about the topic, and provide some sense of closure. Reading/writing Cross Content Connection Short Constructed Response suggestions: -What do all solids have in common? -What are some differences they can have and still be considered solids? -What do all liquids have in common? What are some differences they can have and still be considered liquids? -A can be. Ex. A solid can be broken into pieces. A liquid can be poured.

Smaller rocks (sand) result from the breaking (weathering) of larger rocks. Rocks are the solid material of Earth. Rocks are composed of minerals. Volcanoes are mountains built up by melted rocks that flow out of weak areas in Earth s crust. Rocks are earth materials. Rocks can be described by the property of size. Rock sizes include clay, silt, sand, gravel, pebbles, cobbles, and boulders. 1. The same materials can be sorted in a number of ways based on different characteristics. (DOK 1-2) 2. Scientists make predictions based on what they know. (DOK 1) RI 1.1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. RI 1.3 Describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text. W 1.8 With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. Reading/writing Cross Content Connection SCR suggestions: -How do rocks become clay? -How do the properties of various materials on Earth affect the way we can use them? - and are the same because. Cross Cutting Concepts: Patterns Cause and Effect Scale, proportion, and quantity Energy and matter Stability and change

10 Weathering, caused by wind or water, causes larger rocks to break into small rocks. Some Earth events happen rapidly; others occur slowly over a very long period of time. Earth materials are natural resources. The properties of different earth materials make each suitable for specific uses. Earth materials are commonly used in the construction of building and streets. Soils can be described by their properties (color, texture, ability to support plant growth). Soil is made partly from weathered rock and partly from organic material. Soils vary by location. Wind and water can change the shape of the land.
