SCIENCE.2.6.A — Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
classify objects by observable physical properties, including, shape, color, and texture, and attributes such as larger and smaller and heavier and lighter;
identify and record observable physical properties of objects, including shape, color, texture, and material, and generate ways to classify objects.
classify matter by observable physical properties, including texture, flexibility, and relative temperature, and identify whether a material is a solid or liquid;
measure, test, and record physical properties of matter, including temperature, mass, magnetism, and the ability to sink or float in water;
describe and classify samples of matter as solids, liquids, and gases and demonstrate that solids have a definite shape and that liquids and gases take the shape of their container;
classify and describe matter using observable physical properties, including temperature, mass, magnetism, relative density (the ability to sink or float in water), and physical state (solid, liquid, gas);
SCIENCE.2.6.A — Breakout of skills
Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.
Recurring themes and concepts — Connections to the content
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Patterns of similarities allow objects to be grouped and can be used to classify objects based on properties.
