Standard PS-3: The student will demonstrate an understanding of various properties and classifications of matter. Indicators

PS-3.1 Distinguish chemical properties of matter (including reactivity) from physical properties of matter (including boiling point, freezing/melting point, density [with density calculations], solubility, viscosity, and conductivity).
PS-3.2 Infer the practical applications of organic and inorganic substances on the basis of their chemical and physical properties.
PS-3.3 Illustrate the difference between a molecule and an atom.
PS-3.4 Classify matter as a pure substance (either an element or a compound) or as a mixture (either homogeneous or heterogeneous) on the basis of its structure and/or composition.
PS-3.5 Explain the effects of temperature, particle size, and agitation on the rate at which a solid dissolves in a liquid.
PS-3.6 Compare the properties of the four states of matter—solid, liquid, gas, and plasma—in terms of the arrangement and movement of particles.
