| With quarterly benchmarks behind us, it is time to finish the semester strong as we head into midterms. Remember, when planning, lessons should be Grade Appropriate, foster Deep Engagement, utilize Strong Instruction, and demonstrate High Expectations. We hope this newsletter will be useful as you and your team plan targeted, standards based lessons for your students. Happy Fall! |

| PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER |
| Classify and compare substances on the basis of characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured; for example, density, thermal or electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetic properties, melting and boiling points, and know that these properties are independent of the amount of the sample. |
|
|
| Learning Targets |
- Students will classify and/or compare substances on the basis of their physical properties and/or explain that these properties are independent of the amount of the sample
- Students will classify substances into groups according to physical properties
|
| Key Vocabulary |
| density, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetism, melting point, boiling point, classify, conduct

| MASS AND WEIGHT |
| Differentiate between weight and mass recognizing that weight is the amount of gravitational pull on an object and is distinct from, though proportional to, mass. |
|
|
| Learning Targets |
- Students will identify that a gravitational force exists between you and every object that has mass
- Students will differentiate between weight and mass
- Students will identify the relationship between mass, gravitational force, and weight
|
| Key Vocabulary |
| mass, weight, gravitational pull, proportional

| DENSITY |
| Explore and describe the densities of various materials through measurement of their masses and volumes. |
|
|
| Learning Targets |
- Students will identify how density can affect the behavior of an object in a liquid or a gas
- Students will identify how manipulating an object’s mass or volume effects its density
- Students will describe density and/or calculate and compare the densities of various materials using the materials’ masses and volumes
- Students will know that density is a physical property that is independent of the amount of the sample

| FEATURED 6TH AND 7TH GRADE REVIEW STANDARDS |
|
SC.6.E.6.2 - Recognize that there are a variety of different landforms on Earth's surface such as coastlines, dunes, rivers, mountains, glaciers, deltas, and lakes and relate these landforms as they apply to Florida.
SC.6.E.7.5 (High) - Explain how energy provided by the sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land.
SC.6.E.7.3 (High) - Describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather in measurable terms such as temperature, air pressure, wind direction and speed, and humidity and precipitation.

| SPOTLIGHT ON STRATEGIES |
Using a CER is a great tool for students to demonstrate their understanding of a concept. A CER also provides an opportunity for students to connect conceps to vocabulary.
- C = claim (answer to the question)
- E = evidence (evidence can come from data in a lab, video, picture, or text)
- R = reasoning (scientific reasoning that connects the evidence to the claim
There are different formats to provide students information for a CER. Below are two different formats for you to try out in your classroom.
