NGSS - 2 - PS1 - Purposes of properties - FINAL (CJT 3-15-14)

Module: Purposes of Properties
DCI: PS1.A (B) Structure and Properties of Matter – Different properties are suited to different purposes.
PE: 2-PS1-2 Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.

PE: 2-PS1-3 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object.

[Clarification Statement: Examples of properties could include, strength, flexibility, hardness, texture, and absorbency.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment of quantitative measurements is limited to length.]

[Clarification Statement: Examples of pieces could include blocks, building bricks, or other assorted small objects.]

The basic content of this standard is as follows.

- Different properties make different materials better suited to different purposes.

The PE's suggest we include two skills.

- Kids look at test results and use the data to select a material for a purpose.

- Kids look at an object and figure out how the parts can make something new.
