Structure and Properties and Interaction of Matter

PS.2A. Recognize that objects have observable properties that can change over time and under different conditions.
1. Describe objects according to simple properties (e.g., shape, size, color, weight, texture, floating, sinking, flexibility)
2. Sort objects according to weight, length, and size
4. Distinguish between solids, liquids and gas
