1.10 The Structure and Properties of Matter: Students identify characteristic properties of matter such as density, solubility, and boiling point and
understand that elements are the basic components of matter.
1.11 Physical and Chemical Changes in Matter: Students evaluate chemical and physical changes, recognizing that chemical change forms
compounds with different properties and that physical change alters the appearance but not the composition of a substance.
1.13 The Conservation of Matter and Energy: Students identify supporting evidence to explain conservation of matter and energy, indicating that
matter or energy cannot be created or destroyed but is transferred from one object to another.
1.14 Effects of Motions and Forces: Students describe motion of an object by position, direction, and speed, and identify the effects of force and
inertia on an object.
