“I Can” Statements
Unit 1-Properties of Matter (Quarter 1)
PS1.LT1
I can prove that the total weight of matter does not change regardless of a property change.
I can measure & graph quantities to prove the weight of matter does not change when heated, cooled, or mixed with substances.
PS1.LT2
I can determine whether mixing two or more substances results in a new substance.
I can sort the physical properties of a mixture or solution in an investigation.
PS5.LT1
I can utilize the engineering design process.
I can define a simple design problem involving constraints on materials, time, or cost.

Unit 2-Space Systems (Quarter 2)
PS1.LT4
I can explain that Earth’s gravitational force is directed towards the planet’s center.
PS1.LT6
