MS-PS1-2: Chemical Properties and Reactions
Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. (Patterns)
Clarification Statement: Examples of reactions could include burning sugar or steel wool, fat reacting with sodium hydroxide, and mixing zinc with hydrogen chloride.
Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to analysis of the following properties: density, melting point, boiling point, solubility, flammability, and odor.

ELA/Literacy
RST.6-8.1 - Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.
RST.6-8.7 - Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).
Mathematics
6.RP.A.3 - Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
6.SP.B.4 - Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
6.SP.B.5 - Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context.
MP.2 - Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
