Bundle 2 How does a change in thermal energy affect matter?

MS-PS1-1. Evidence Statement
Develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures.
[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on developing models of molecules that vary in complexity. Examples of simple molecules could include ammonia and methanol. Examples of extended structures could include sodium chloride or diamonds. Examples of molecular-level models could include drawings, 3D ball and stick structures, or computer representations showing different molecules with different types of atoms.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include valence electrons and bonding energy, discussing the ionic nature of subunits of complex structures, or a complete description of all individual atoms in a complex molecule or extended structure is not required.]

The concept that substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways (PS1.A as in MS-PS1-1), connects to the ideas that gases and liquids are made of molecules or inert atoms that are moving about relative to each other, and in a solid, atoms may vibrate in position but do not change relative locations (PS1.A as in MS-PS1-4)

Essential Vocabulary & Concepts

Picture	Core Knowledge or Concept
	A molecule is a group of atoms that are joined together and act as a single unit. (i.e. a water molecule is made of 2 hydrogen atoms tied to 1 oxygen atom: H2O.)
	A chemical formula (molecular formula) is the recipe for what is in a molecule. The element symbol Letter goes before the Number of atoms, so H₂0 has 2 hydrogen & 1oxygen. A structural formula is a way to show how molecules are put together. Lines represent bonds between atoms.
	Atoms are held together in chemical bonds by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons. A compound is a substance made of two or more elements.
	A mixture is two or more substances found together.
	Solution is a very well-mixed mixture of two substances that keep their properties. (i.e. sugar water vs. salt water) A solvent is a liquid and solute is a solidlike a powder.
	Characteristic properties are qualities of a substance that never change and can be used to identify the substance. They can be physical properties and chemical properties.
	Physical properties can be any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions. They can be observable using instruments or the five senses. (i.e. crystal shape, color, texture, hardness, bends or breaks, density, resistance to water and fire, conductivity or heat or electricity, melting/boiling points)
	Density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. (mass / volume)
	Physical changes change the form of a substance, but not its identity. (i.e. crushing, folding, freezing, boiling, dissolving, mixing, cutting, twisting )
	Scientist Craig Venter and Francis Collins decoded the DNA molecule of several life forms, including humans.DNA is one of the largest molecules of all and holds the instructions for how to build the molecules of living things.
	Technology DNA sequencers are machines that can tear apart and read DNA molecules. They were used by Venter & Collins.
