[PS1] Matter and Its Interaction

SCI-05.PS1.02 Measure and graph metric quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total mass of matter is conserved.

Clarification Statement: Examples of reactions or changes could include dissolving, and mixing. Examples of physical changes could include ice melting into water. Distinguish between mass and weight. Weight is a measure of gravitational force on an object. Weight of an object can change depending upon gravitational force. Ex. Earth vs. the moon. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
The mass of matter is conserved when it changes form, even in transitions in which it seems to vanish. No matter what reaction or change in properties occurs, the total mass of the substances does not change
