October 2019
 
October is where we start assessing progress of State tested critical content and assess how students are making progress. 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 October!
 
 
PARTICLE MOTION IN SOLID, LIQUID, GAS

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
