Core Idea PS1 Matter and Its Interactions
How can one explain the structure, properties, and interactions of matter?
The existence of atoms, now supported by evidence from modern instruments, was first postulated as a model
that could explain both qualitative and quantitative observations about matter (e.g., Brownian motion, ratios of
reactants and products in chemical reactions). Matter can be understood in terms of the types of atoms present
and the interactions both between and within them. The states (i.e., solid, liquid, gas, or plasma), properties (e.g.,
hardness, conductivity), and reactions (both physical and chemical) of matter can be described and predicted
based on the types, interactions, and motions of the atoms within it. Chemical reactions, which underlie so
many observed phenomena in living and nonliving systems alike, conserve the number of atoms of each type
but change their arrangement into molecules. Nuclear reactions involve changes in the types of atomic nuclei
present and are key to the energy release from the sun and the balance of isotopes in matter.
PS1.A: STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF MATTER
How do particles combine to form the variety of matter one observes?
While too small to be seen with visible light, atoms have substructures of their own. They have a small central
region or nucleus—containing protons and neutrons—surrounded by a larger region containing electrons. The
number of protons in the atomic nucleus (atomic number) is the defining characteristic of each element;
different isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons only. Despite the immense variation and
number of substances, there are only some 100 different stable elements. Each element has characteristic
chemical properties. The periodic table, a systematic representation of known elements, is organized
horizontally by increasing atomic number and vertically by families of elements with related chemical
properties. The development of the periodic table (which occurred well before atomic substructure was
understood) was a major advance, as its patterns suggested and led to the identification of additional elements
with particular properties. Moreover, the table’s patterns are now recognized as related to the atom’s outermost
electron patterns, which play an important role in explaining chemical reactivity and bond formation, and the
periodic table continues to be a useful way to organize this information. The substructure of atoms determines
how they combine and rearrange to form all of the world’s substances. Electrical attractions and repulsions
between charged particles (i.e., atomic nuclei and electrons) in matter explain the structure of atoms and the
forces between atoms that cause them to form molecules (via chemical bonds), which range in size from two to
thousands of atoms (e.g., in biological molecules such as proteins). Atoms also combine due to these forces to
form extended structures, such as crystals or metals. The varied properties (e.g., hardness, conductivity) of the
materials one encounters, both natural and manufactured, can be understood in terms of the atomic and
molecular constituents presentand the forces within and between them. Within matter, atoms and their
constituents are constantly in motion. The arrangement and motion of atoms vary in characteristic ways,
depending on the substance and its current state (e.g., solid, liquid). Chemical composition, temperature, and
pressure affect such arrangements and motions of atoms, as well as the ways in which they interact. Under a
given set of conditions, the state and some properties (e.g., density, elasticity, viscosity) are the same for
different bulk quantities of a substance, whereas other properties (e.g., volume, mass) provide measures of the
size of the sample at hand. Materials can be characterized by their intensive measureable properties.
Different materials with different properties are suited to different uses. The ability to image and manipulate
placement of individual atoms in tiny structures allows for the design of new types of materials with particular
desired functionality (e.g., plastics, nanoparticles). Moreover, the modern explanation of how particular atoms
influence the properties of materials or molecules is critical to understanding the physical and chemical
functioning of biological systems.
Grade Band Endpoints for PS1.A
By the end of grade 2. Different kinds of matter exist (e.g., wood, metal, water), and many of them can be
either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable
properties (e.g., visual, aural, textural), by its uses, and by whether it occurs naturally or is manufactured.
Different properties are suited to different purposes. A great variety of objects can be built up from a small set
of pieces (e.g., blocks, construction sets). Objects or samples of a substance can be weighed, and their size can
be described and measured. (Boundary: volume is introduced only for liquid measure.)
By the end of grade 5. Matter of any type can be subdivided into particles that are too small to see, but even
then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means (e.g., by weighing or by its effects on other
objects). For example, a model showing that gases are made from matter particles that are too small to see and
are moving freely around in space can explain many observations, including the inflation and shape of a
balloon; the effects of air on larger particles or objects (e.g., leaves in wind, dust suspended in air); and the
appearance of visible scale water droplets in condensation, fog, and, by extension, also in clouds or the contrails
of a jet. The amount (weight) of matter is conserved when it changes form, even in transitions in which it seems
to vanish (e.g., sugar in solution, evaporation in a closed container). Measurements of a variety of properties
(e.g., hardness, reflectivity) can be used to identify particular materials. (Boundary: At this grade level, mass
and weight are not distinguished, and no attempt is made to define the unseen particles or explain the atomicscale mechanism of evaporation and condensation.)
By the end of grade 8. All substances are made from some 100 different types of atoms, which combine with
one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. Pure
substances are made from a single type of atom or molecule; each pure substance has characteristic physical and
chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it.
Gases and liquids are made of molecules or inert atoms that are moving about relative to each other. In a liquid,
the molecules are constantly in contact with each other; in a gas, they are widely spaced except when they
happen to collide. In a solid, atoms are closely spaced and vibrate in position but do not change relative
locations. Solids may be formed from molecules, or they may be extended structures with repeating subunits
(e.g., crystals). The changes of state that occur with variations in temperature or pressure can be described and
predicted using these models of matter. (Boundary: Predictions here are qualitative, not quantitative.)
PS1.B: CHEMICAL REACTIONS
How do substances combine or change (react) to make new substances? How does one characterize and
explain these reactions and make predictions about them?
Many substances react chemically with other substances to form new substances with different properties. This
change in properties results from the ways in which atoms from the original substances are combined and
rearranged in the new substances.
However, the total number of each type of atom is conserved (does not change) in any chemical process, and
thus mass does not change either. The property of conservation can be used, along with knowledge of the
chemical properties of particular elements, to describe and predict the outcomes of reactions. Changes in matter
in which the molecules do not change, but their positions and their motion relative to each other do change also
occur (e.g., the forming of a solution, a change of state). Such changes are generally easier to reverse (return to
original conditions) than chemical changes. “Collision theory” provides a qualitative model for explaining the
rates of chemical reactions. Higher rates occur at higher temperatures because atoms are typically moving faster
and thus collisions are more frequent; also, a larger fraction of the collisions have sufficient energy to initiate
the process. Although a solution or a gas may have constant chemical composition—that is, be in a steady
state—chemical reactions may be occurring within it that are dynamically balanced with reactions in opposite
directions proceeding at equal rates. Any chemical process involves a change in chemical bonds and the related
bond energies and thus in the total chemical binding energy. This change is matched by a difference between
the total kinetic energy of the set of reactant molecules before the collision and that of the set of product
molecules after the collision (conservation of energy). Some reactions release energy (e.g., burning fuel in the
presence of oxygen), and others require energy input (e.g., synthesis of sugars from carbon dioxide and water).
Understanding chemical reactions and the properties of elements is essential not only to the physical sciences
but also is foundational knowledge for the life sciences and the earth and space sciences. The cycling of matter
and associated transfers of energy in systems, of any scale, depend on physical and chemical processes.
The reactivity of hydrogen ions gives rise to many biological and geophysical phenomena. The capacity of
carbon atoms to form the backbone of extended molecular structures is essential to the chemistry of life. The
carbon cycle involves transfers between carbon in the atmosphere—in the form of carbon dioxide—and carbon
in living matter or formerly living matter (including fossil fuels). The proportion of oxygen molecules (i.e.,
oxygen in the form O2) in the atmosphere also changes in this cycle.
Grade Band Endpoints for PS1.B
By the end of grade 2. Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed. Sometimes
these changes are reversible (e.g., melting and freezing), and sometimes they are not (e.g., baking a cake,
burning fuel).
By the end of grade 5. When two or more different substances are mixed, a new substance with different
properties may be formed; such occurrences depend on the substances and the temperature. No matter what
reaction or change in properties occurs, the total weight of the substances does not change. (Boundary: Mass
and weight are not distinguished at this grade level.)
By the end of grade 8. Substances react chemically in characteristic ways. In a chemical process, the atoms that
make up the original substances are regrouped into different molecules, and these new substances have different
properties from those of the reactants. The total number of each type of atom is conserved, and thus the mass
does not change. Some chemical reactions release energy, others store energy.
Science for All Americans:
THE EARTH
The earth has a variety of climatic patterns, which consist of different conditions of temperature,
precipitation, humidity, wind, air pressure, and other atmospheric phenomena. These patterns result
from an interplay of many factors. The basic energy source is the heating of land, ocean, and air by solar
radiation. Transfer of heat energy at the interfaces of the atmosphere with the land and oceans produces
layers at different temperatures in both the air and the oceans. These layers rise or sink or mix, giving
rise to winds and ocean currents that carry heat energy between warm and cool regions. The earth's
rotation curves the flow of winds and ocean currents, which are further deflected by the shape of the
land.
The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere plays an important part in determining climatic
patterns—evaporating from the surface, rising and cooling, condensing into clouds and then into snow or
rain, and falling again to the surface, where it collects in rivers, lakes, and porous layers of rock. There are
also large areas on the earth's surface covered by thick ice (such as Antarctica), which interacts with the
atmosphere and oceans in affecting worldwide variations in climate.
STRUCTURE OF MATTER
The things of the physical world seem to be made up of a stunningly varied array of materials.
Materials differ greatly in shape, density, flexibility, texture, toughness, and color; in their ability to give
off, absorb, bend, or reflect light; in what form they take at different temperatures; in their responses to
each other; and in hundreds of other ways. Yet, in spite of appearances, everything is really made up of a
relatively few kinds of basic material combined in various ways. As it turns out, about 100 such
materials—the chemical elements—are now known to exist, and only a few of them are abundant in the
universe.
When two or more substances interact to form new substances (as in burning, digestion, corrosion,
and cooking), the elements composing them combine in new ways. In such recombinations, the
properties of the new combinations may be very different from those of the old. An especially important
kind of reaction between substances involves combination of oxygen with something else—as in burning
or rusting.
The basic premise of the modern theory of matter is that the elements consist of a few different kinds
of atoms—particles far too tiny to see in a microscope—that join together in different configurations to
form substances. There are one or more—but never many—kinds of these atoms for each of the
approximately 100 elements.
There are distinct patterns of properties among the elements. There are groups of elements that have
similar properties, including highly reactive metals, less-reactive metals, highly reactive non-metals (such
as chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen), and some almost completely nonreactive gases (such as helium and
neon). Some elements don't fit into any of these categories; among them are carbon and hydrogen,
essential elements of living matter. When the elements are listed in order by the masses of their atoms,
similar sequences of properties appear over and over again in the list.
Benchmarks for Science Literacy:

 The temperature and amount of rain (or snow) tend to be high, low, or medium in the same months
every year. 4B/P1*

By the end of the 5th grade, students should know that
 When liquid water disappears, it turns into a gas (vapor) in the air and can reappear as a liquid when
cooled, or as a solid if cooled below the freezing point of water. Clouds and fog are made of tiny
droplets or frozen crystals of water. 4B/E3*
MATTER
K-2
Students should examine and use a wide variety of objects, categorizing them according to their various
observable properties. They should subject materials to such treatments as mixing, heating, freezing, cutting,
wetting, dissolving, bending, and exposing to light to see how they change. Even though it is too early to expect
precise reports or even consistent results from the students, they should be encouraged to describe what they did
and how materials responded.
Students should also get a lot of experience in constructing things from a few kinds of small parts ("Tinkertoys"
and "Legos"), then taking them apart and rearranging them. They should begin to consider how the properties of
objects may differ from properties of the materials they are made of. And they should begin to inspect things
with a magnifying glass to discover features not visible without it.
By the end of the 2nd grade, students should know that
 Objects can be described in terms of their properties. Some properties, such as hardness and flexibility,
depend upon what material the object is made of, and some properties, such as size and shape, do not.
4D/P1*
 Things can be done to materials to change some of their properties, but not all materials respond the
same way to what is done to them. 4D/P2
3-5
The study of materials should continue and become more systematic and quantitative. Students should design
and build objects that require different properties of materials. They should write clear descriptions of their
designs and experiments, present their findings whenever possible in tables and graphs (designed by the
students, not the teacher), and enter their data and results in a computer database.
Objects and materials can be described by more sophisticated properties—conduction of heat and electricity,
buoyancy, response to magnets, solubility, and transparency. Students should measure, estimate, and calculate
sizes, capacities, and weights. If young children can't feel the weight of something, they may believe it to have
no weight at all. Many experiences of weighing (if possible on increasingly sensitive balances)—including
weighing piles of small things and dividing to find the weight of each—will help. It is not obvious to
elementary students that wholes weigh the same as the sum of their parts. That idea is preliminary to, but far
short of, the conservation principle to be learned later that weight doesn't change in spite of striking changes in
other properties as long as all the parts (including invisible gases) are accounted for.
With magnifiers, students should inspect substances composed of large collections of particles, such as salt and
talcum powder, to discover the unexpected details at smaller scales. They should also observe and describe the
behavior of large collections of pieces—powders, marbles, sugar cubes, or wooden blocks (which can, for
example, be "poured" out of a container) and consider that the collections may have new properties that the
pieces do not.
By the end of the 5th grade, students should know that
 Heating and cooling can cause changes in the properties of materials, but not all materials respond the
same way to being heated and cooled. 4D/E1a*
 Many kinds of changes occur faster under hotter conditions. 4D/E1b
 No matter how parts of an object are assembled, the weight of the whole object is always the same as the
sum of the parts; and when an object is broken into parts, the parts have the same total weight as the
original object. 4D/E2*
 Materials may be composed of parts that are too small to be seen without magnification. 4D/E3
 When a new material is made by combining two or more materials, it has properties that are different
from the original materials. 4D/E4a
 A lot of different materials can be made from a small number of basic kinds of materials. 4D/E4b*
 Substances may move from place to place, but they never appear out of nowhere and never just
disappear. 4D/E5** (ASL)
 All materials have certain physical properties, such as strength, hardness, flexibility, durability,
resistance to water and fire, and ease of conducting heat. 4D/E6** (SFAA)
 Collections of pieces (powders, marbles, sugar cubes, or wooden blocks) may have properties that the
individual pieces do not. 4D/E7** (ASL)
