This class was designed to be delivered in a classroom setting and provides information that supports the following New York State Next Generation Science Learning Standards. 
P-PS1-1 Ask questions and use observations to test the claim that different kinds of matter exist as either solid or liquid. 
K-PS1-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to test the claim that different kinds of matter exist as either solid or liquid, depending on temperature.
2-PS1-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties.
2-PS1-4 Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot. 
5-PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
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. 
MS-PS1-1 Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
MS-PS1-2 Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. 
MS-PS1-4 Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and phase (state) of a substance when thermal energy is added or removed. 
MS-PS1-6 Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy during a chemical and/or physical process.
