 * Observable and measurable properties of objects || Objects have many observable properties including size, weight, shape, color, temperature and the abiltiy to react with other substancces. Those properties can be measured using tools such as rulers, balances and thermometers.

Objects are made of one or more materials.

Objects can be described by the properties of the materials from which they are made. Properties can be used to separate or sort a group of objects or materials. || Objects can be described by their properties and the materials they are made from. || Abby Brownlee (abrownlee@fmtabor.k12.ia.us) and Tricia Goodman (tgoodman@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ):

 * **Characteristics of liquids and solids** || **Materials can exist in different states-solid, liquid, and gas.**

**Some common materials, such as water, can be changed from one state to another by heating or cooling.** || Materials can be a solid, liquid, or a gas and can change from one state to another. || Denise Stein (dstein@griswoldschools.org )

||
 * ** Positions and motions of objects ** || ** The position of an object can be described by locating it relative to its background. **

** An object's motion can be described by observing and measuring its position over time. **

** An object's position or movement can be changed by pushing or pulling. ** || Objects move in many ways. || Rachelle Zenor (rzenor@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ) and Tina Miller (tmiller@fmtabor.k12.ia.us ):

 * Understand and apply knowledge of the positions and motions of objects. || The position of an object can be described by locating it relative to its background.

An object’s motion can be described by observing and measuring its position over time. An object’s position or movement can be changed by pushing or pulling. || We push and pull objects to move them. The measurable distance the object moves depends on the ammount of force we use. || Michelle Griffen (mgriffen@riverside.k12.ia.us ):

//This project was done as part of another grant project. I have all the materials needed for the project. I will send them to you through van mail it you would like to use them. If you do use this, please let me know as I would like feedback.// || **//Please upload your concept maps and unit plans for Physical Science here. Be sure to put your name on your unit plan and concept map so that others may contact you.// To upload materials from your desktop to this page, please follow these directions: 1. Click on the Edit icon located in the upper right hand corner of the page. The page will reload with an Editor bar at the top. 2.
