Identify some familiar changes in materials that result in other materials with different characteristics, such as decaying animal or plant matter, burning, rusting, and cooking.
General Information
Subject Area: Science
Grade: 4
Body of Knowledge: Physical Science
Idea: Level 1: Recall
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.
