Using the State Curriculum: Science, Grade 5

Clarifications: Each clarification provides an explanation of an indicator/objective to help teachers better understand the skills and/or concepts.

Standard 4.0 Chemistry

Topic D. Physical and Chemical Changes

Indicator 1. Provide evidence to illustrate that when a new material is made by combining two or more materials, its properties are different from the original materials.

Objective b. Based on observations from investigations and video technology, describe what happens to the observable properties of materials when several materials are combined to make a new material, such as baking soda combined with vinegar

Clarification
When substances are chemically combined, they form a compound, a new material. When a new material is formed by combining two or more materials, its properties are different from those of the original materials. Lighting a match is an example of a chemical change. The wood burns to release heat energy and produce carbon dioxide, water and other compounds.
