CA.1. Physical Sciences: Properties of materials can be observed, measured, and predicted. As a basis for understanding this concept:
1.a.
Students know objects can be described in terms of the materials they are made of (e.g., clay, cloth, paper) and their physical properties (e.g., color, size, shape, weight, texture, flexibility, attraction to magnets, floating, sinking).
