Narrative Summary:

The Matter and Energy Module consists of four sequential investigations. Students experience a variety of forms of matter and energy. They investigate the properties of light, observe the conversion of energy from one form to another, and explore properties of the three common states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas). Students use metric tools to measure the properties of matter—mass, volume, and temperature—and observe that starting substances can change into new substances as a result of a chemical reaction.
