Make purposeful observation of the natural world using the appropriate senses. (S.IP.00.11; S.IP.01.11)
Manipulate simple tools that aid in observation and data collection. (S.IP.00.14; S.IP.01.14)
Matter exists in several different states: solids, liquids and gases. Each state of matter has unique physical properties. Gases are easily compressed but liquids and solids do not compress easily. Solids have their own particular shapes, but liquids and gases take the shape of the container. (P.PM.E.2)
