Grade 1 Pacing Guide Properties of Matter Benchmarks
• SC.1.P.8.1 Sort objects by observable properties, such as size, shape, color, temperature (hot or cold), weight (heavy or light), texture, and whether objects sink or float.
• SC.1.N.1.1 Raise questions about the natural world, investigate them in teams through free exploration, and generate appropriate explanations based on those explorations
• SC.1.N.1.2 Using the five senses as tools, make careful observations, describe objects in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion, and compare their observations with others.
• SC.1.N.1.3 Keep records as appropriate – such as pictorial and written records – of investigations conducted.
• LAFS.1.W.3.8 With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question.
• LAFS.1.SL.1.1 Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups.

Can you Guess my Button? Look at these buttons.Listen as I describe a button.
Here are my clues:Its shape is a circle.It has 2 button holes.
Its size is small.
Its color is yellow. This is my button.What do my clues describe
about buttons? propertiesWhat properties did I use?

How do we tell buttons and other objects apart?
We use our Senses• Sight - Looks – Color– Number of Holes– Shape– Size
• Touch – Feels (texture)• Hear – Sounds when
dropped• Smell – Odor • Taste
• Eyes
• Hands and Fingers• Ears
• Nose• Mouth

Properties of Matter
Division of Academics - Department of Science
What are Properties ? A property is something about an object you can observe with your senses.Color, shape, and size are properties. How something feels is a property.
How can you describe a ___________?
We use our senses to tell about its properties.
Division of Academics – Department of Science Excerpt from Scott Foresman Gr. 1 Quick Study
How Can We Sort?
We can use our senses to sort matter in different ways.We can group matter by how it feels.Some matter may feel hard or bumpy.We can group matter by shape. Matter can havemany different shapes. (Gr. 1 Scott Foresman Quick Study)
How can we sort these buttons?We can sort by color: blue - red – green – yellowMatter can be different colors.We can sort by size:large - medium – smallMatter can be different sizes.

Practicing Science Sort, Group, Classify
1. Observe the objects in your basket.2. Discuss their common properties.3. Decide on a way to sort your objects. 4. Sort the objects. Name your groups.5. Talk about why you classified them as you did.6. Can you sort your objects in another way? Try it.

Claim Evidence (CE)Assignment: Think like a scientist to write an answer to this question:How do you learn about the properties of objects?
Claim: (A sentence that states how you learn about properties of objects.)
Evidence: (Examples of what you do to learn about properties of objects.)
Division of Academics – Department of Science
Getting Started
First think about: What is a possible claim? Where can you find your
evidence? What science words will you want to include? Where can you find
science and other words to help you write?
Use your resources: Classroom charts,
word walls and bulletin boards

Claim: I know I can use my senses to learn about properties of objects.
Evidence: Here is how I found my pencil’s properties. First I used my eyes to look at my pencil. My pencil’s color is yellow. Its shape is long and round. Second I used my hands to feel the pencil. It is smooth. Then I used my ears to describe the sound it made when I dropped it. It sounded like a plop, plop. Last I used my nose to describe its smell. It smells like wood.

Vocabulary
• Matter is anything that takes up space and has weight.
Observable Qualities/Physical Properties:• Weight is a measurement that indicates how heavy a
person or thing is• Space is the amount of an area, room, etc., that is
empty or available• Size is how large or small someone or something is• Shape is the form of an object• Color is a quality such as red, blue, etc., that you see
when you look at something
Division of Academics - Department of Science
• Temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold something is.
• Texture is the way something feels when you touch it.• Buoyancy is the ability to float in water.
