This unit aligns to NGSS Grade 5 Standards

• 5-PS1-1. Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. 
• 5-PS1-2. Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved. 
• 5-PS1-3. Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties
• 5-PS1-4. Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances. 
• 3-5-ETS1-3. Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
• 3-5-ETS1-2. Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. 
• 3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
