Investigate and describe that many physical and chemical changes are affected by temperature.
General Information
Subject Area: Science
Grade: 5
Body of Knowledge: Physical Science
Idea: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
Big Idea: Changes in Matter - A. Matter can undergo a variety of changes.
B. Matter can be changed physically or chemically.
Clarification for grades K-5: The target understanding for students in the elementary grades should focus on Big Ideas A and B.
Clarification for Grades 6-8: The target understanding for students in the middle grades should begin to transition the focus to: C. When matter changes chemically, a rearrangement of bonds between the atoms occurs. This results in new substances with new properties.

STEM Lessons - Model Eliciting Activity
Rava's Florida Fusion Catering:
In this MEA students will be presented with a catering company looking to add a new recipe using molecular gastronomy techniques. These recipes/techniques transform food into different states of matter.
Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.
