A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
investigate and compare a variety of mixtures, including solutions that are composed of liquids in liquids and solids in liquids; and
demonstrate that matter is conserved when mixtures such as soil and water or oil and water are formed.
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.
It is important to consider how changes in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system’s structure or performance. Scale refers to the size of an object in relation to another object or its environment. Proportion is the ratio of one quantity to another. Quantity is a count of a set of objects or a measurement of a substance.
Mixtures have relative proportions of each combined substance in terms of fractions.
Stability describes a system that does not change at the observed scale. In a stable system, a small disturbance will die out and the system will return to a stable state. Change in the system can come from modifying a factor or condition.
Mixtures that maintain the physical properties of their component substances exhibit stability.
