Physical Science UnitProperties of Matter

Oklahoma PASS Content Standard:Content Standard 1 Properties and Physical Changes in Matter: Physical characteristics of objects can be described using shape, size, and mass whereas the materials from which objects are made can be described using color and texture. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the following objective:

Benchmark/Content standard: CS 1.1 Matter has physical properties that can be measured (i.e., mass volume, temperature, color, texture, and density). Physical changes of a substance do not alter the chemical nature of a substance (e.g., phase changes of water and/or sanding wood).
