This WebQuest has been created for Michigan 1st graders to meet the Science GLCE's for the grade level related to matter and properties.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE: 
Properties of Matter 

P.PM.E.1 Physical Properties- All objects and substances have physical properties that can be measured.
    P.PM.01.11 Demonstrate the ability to sort objects according to observable attributes such as color, shape, size, sinking or floating.
P.PM.E.3 Magnets- Magnets can repel or attract other magnets. Magnets can also attract certain non-magnetic objects at a distance.

   P.PM.01.31 Identify materials that are attracted by magnets.

   P.PM.01.32 Observe that like poles of a magnet repel and unlike poles of a magnet attract.

P.PM.E.2 States of Matter- Matter exists in several different states: solids, liquids and gases. Each state of matter has unique physical properties. Gases are easily compressed but liquids and solids do not compress easily. Solids have their own particular shapes, but liquids and gases take the shape of the container.

   P.PM.01.21 Demonstrate that water as a solid keeps its own shape (ice).

   P.PM.01.22 Demonstrate that water as a liquid takes on the shape of various containers.


METS Michigan Educational Technology Standards:
PK-2.CI.1. use a variety of digital tools (e.g., word processors, drawing tools, simulations, presentation software, graphical organizers) to learn, create, and convey original ideas or illustrate concepts
PK-2.RI.1. interact with Internet based resources
PK-2.TC.6. understand that technology is a tool to help him/her complete a task, and is a source of information, learning, and entertainment
PK-2.TC.7. demonstrate the ability to navigate in virtual environments (e.g., electronic books, games, simulation software, web sites)
