Properties of Matter Students observe how matter interacts and how it behaves when heated. They then provide explanations of their observations, considering such themes as density; mixtures and solutions; and compounds, elements, and chemical reactions. The themes of these inquiries are explored in detail throughout the module, giving students opportunities to re-examine and modify their explanations.
