Properties+of+Matter


 * Students will observe, measure and record properties of everyday items such as pumpkins, apples or leaves. Student focus is on the properties and comparisons of these objects, and the vocabulary necessary. ||

//**Genrealizations:**//
 * Objects can be described based on their properties.
 * Objects can be compared to one another based on their properties.
 * We can record observations about objects, including descriptions of relative size and mass, shape, color, and texture.

//**Essential Questions: **//


 * What observations can we record about objects?
 * How can you use properties to describe objects?
 * How can objects be compared to one another based on their properties?
