Standards Connections
These resources can be used to support standards-based teaching and learning. They are not intended to meet the full scope of any given standard. Only some standards are highlighted; many more standards may be connected! We encourage you to explore and to let us know if you have any questions!
| 5-PS1-3. Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
Note: Density is beyond the assessment boundary of this standard, but this cube set is great for looking at physical properties that attribute to weight. |
| 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. |
