4. Illustrate how molecules are arranged in different states of matter.
3. Identify the three states of matter and the basic properties of matter in each of those states.
2. Explain the difference between mass and weight using age appropriate vocabulary.
1. Understand that everything contains matter, that matter takes up space, and matter has mass.
