Explore physical properties and chemical reactions in this physical
science unit for grades 1-3. Guide your students through investigations
to help them understand the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
Teach them strategies to mix and separate each of the states of matter,
and give them early insight into how chemicals react.
The STC Program™ is a basal, inquiry-based science curriculum for grades K–10 that covers life, earth, and physical sciences with technology. STC™ was developed by the National Science Resources Center based on research into how students learn best. The NSRC was established by the National Academies and the Smithsonian Institution.

By the end of the unit your students will understand that:
 |
Material
may change their properties or state. |
|
|
Changes
in state result from changes in the external
environment. |
|
|
Mixed
materials may change as the result of chemical
or physical interactions. |
|
|
The
chemical and physical properties of materials
may be used to separate their mixtures. |
|
|
Chemical
reactions can produce new materials. |
