Structure and Transformation of Matter
SC-E-1.1.1 Objects have many observable
properties such as size, mass, shape, color,
temperature, magnetism, and the ability to
react with other substances. Some properties
can be measured using tools such as metric
rulers, balances, and thermometers.
See 4.1 => SC-EP-1.1.2 Students will understand that
objects have many observable properties such
as size, mass, shape, color, temperature,
magnetism, and the ability to interact and/or to
react with other substances. Some properties
can be measured using tools such as metric
rulers, balances, and thermometers.
SC-E-1.1.2 Objects are made of one or more
materials such as paper, wood, and metal.
Objects can be described by the properties of
the materials from which they are made.
Those properties can be used to separate or
classify objects or materials.
SC-EP-1.1.1 Students will classify material
objects by their properties.
Objects are made of one or more materials such as
paper, wood, and metal. Objects can be described
by the properties of the materials from which they
are made. Those properties and measurements of
the objects can be used to separate or classify
objects or materials. DOK 2
SC-EP-1.1.1 Students will classify material
objects by their properties providing
evidence to support their classifications.
Objects are made of one or more materials such
as paper, wood, and metal. Objects can be
described by the properties of the materials
from which they are made. Those properties and
measurements of the objects can be used to
separate or classify objects or materials. DOK 3
SC-E-1.1.3 Materials can exist in different
states--solid, liquid, and gas. Some common
materials, such as water, can be changed from
one state to another by heating or cooling.

SC-EP-1.1.3 Students will describe the
properties of water as it occurs as a solid,
liquid or gas.
Matter (water) can exist in different states--solid,
liquid and gas. Properties of those states of
matter can be used to describe and classify
them. DOK 2
SC-04-1.1.1
Students will explain how matter, including
water, can be changed from one state to

another.
Materials can exist in different states--solid,
liquid and gas. Some common materials, such
as water, can be changed from one state to
another by heating or cooling. Resulting cause
and effect relationships should be explored,
described and predicted. DOK 3

Motion and Forces
SC-E-1.2.1 The position of an object can be
described by locating it relative to another
object or the background. The position can be
described using phrases such as to the right,
to the left, 50 cm from the other object.
