MS-PS1-2

Evidence of chemical reactions

Performance expectation

Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.

Clarification

Examples may include common reaction systems, with evidence drawn from characteristic properties.

Assessment boundary

Assessment is limited to density, melting point, boiling point, solubility, flammability, and odor.
