Grade 5 Matter

Grade 5 : Standard 9 - Matter

Conceptual Strand 9

The composition and structure of matter is known, and it behaves according to principles that are generally understood.

Guiding Question 9

How does the structure of matter influence its physical and chemical behavior?

Experiment - Mystery Powders

Mystery Powders http://www.uen.org/Lessonplan/preview.cgi?LPid=2176 This activity gives several powders and substances that can undergo a physical or chemical change and has students evaluate each example. A recording sheet is provided.

Feel of each Mystery Powder

	Mystery Powder's Reaction to Heat
	Mystery Powder's Reaction to Iodine
	Mystery Powder's Reaction to Vinegar
