6.2.1: Matter
6.2.1.2: Substances can undergo physical changes which do not change the composition or the total mass of the substance in a closed system.
6.2.1.2.2: Describe how mass is conserved during a physical change in a closed system.
Chemical Changes
Chemical Equations
6.2.1.2.3: Use the relationship between heat and the motion and arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases to explain melting, freezing, condensation and evaporation.
6.2.2: Motion
6.2.2.1: The motion of an object can be described in terms of speed, direction and change of position.
6.2.2.1.1: Measure and calculate the speed of an object that is traveling in a straight line.
6.2.2.1.2: For an object traveling in a straight line, graph the object?s position as a function of time, and its speed as a function of time. Explain how these graphs describe the object?s motion.
