5-PS1-2: Conservation of Matter
Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved. (Scale, Proportion, and Quantity)
Clarification Statement: Examples of reactions or changes could include phase changes, dissolving, and mixing that form new substances.
Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include distinguishing mass and weight.

Common Core Connections
ELA/Literacy
W.5.7 - Conduct short research projects that use several sources to build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic.
W.5.8 - Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources; summarize or paraphrase information in notes and finished work, and provide a list of sources.
W.5.9 - Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Mathematics
5.MD.A.1 - Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
MP.2 - Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
MP.4 - Model with mathematics.
MP.5 - Use appropriate tools strategically.
