ASSESSMENT
Check-In 1
Lesson 1
Use what you learned to classify
objects as solid, liquid, or gas.
Decide if the objects are good for
building.
Check-In 2
Lesson 2
Use what you learned about
properties of matter. Observe
and classify building blocks.
Check-In 4
Lesson 4
Use what you learned
about liquids and gases.
Explain if you could use
liquids and gases in
the kit.
Findings

Magnets
You want to test if materials are
magnetic. Materials are magnetic if
they are able to be pushed or pulled by
a magnet. You place a magnet on the
back of a plastic chair. The magnet does
not stick. Next, you put the magnet
on the metal leg of the chair. The
magnet sticks to the leg of the chair!
The metal leg is magnetic.
The plastic seat is not.

Test Properties on identifying
properties of matter.
Some metals are magnetic. An object
that can be pushed or pulled by a
magnet is magnetic.
You can test if an object will sink or
float. An object can float if it has air
inside of it or if it is light and has a
large surface.

Is flexibility a property of a
building block? Why or why not?

Complete an activity
Measure Liquids on using liquids and
gases.
You can measure how much
space a liquid or gas takes up.
You can measure liquids using
containers. Pour a liquid into a
container. The liquid will always
take up the same amount of space.
Measuring instruments make
measuring liquids easy.
