Proficiency Standards End of Grade Six (Elementary) Students will be able to: &#149;Distinguish between the general properties of a substance and the properties which are important for a specific use &#149;Classify substances according to observable properties and describe how certain properties determine the major uses of the substance &#149;Measure and compare properties, such as color, size, shape, texture, and hardness of a variety of substances End of Grade Ten (Secondary) Students will be able to: &#149;Obtain reliable and valid quantitative data through careful and skilled use of measuring instruments, e.g. balances, graduated cylinders, computer probes &#149;Distinguish between qualitative and quantitative properties based upon observations of a substance &#149;Experiment to determine specific properties of substances that are useful in identification of the substance such as density, acidity, corrosiveness, strength, stretchability, melting point, or solubility &#149;Use derived measurements of objects or substances to determine non-observable properties, e.g. density &#149;Describe, compare, and classify elements, compounds, and mixtures 5b. Curriculum Standard: Students will demonstrate an increasing ability to understand that matter is composed of dynamic interactive units or particles and that all the properties and changes in matter can be explained in terms of the forces involved in the interactions of these units.
