Assessments designed to differentiate between characteristics of matter that are observable without changing the substance’s composition (e.g., color, density, melting point) and those that describe how a substance reacts with other substances,... Read more »
Assessments evaluating the understanding of matter’s characteristics typically divide those characteristics into two core categories. The first encompasses attributes observable or measurable without altering the substance’s composition, such as color, density, and... Read more »
An assessment designed to evaluate comprehension of matter’s characteristics can encompass both observable traits, like color, density, and hardness, and those revealed through changes in composition, such as flammability, reactivity, and toxicity.... Read more »
Assessments evaluating the discernable characteristics of matter and the transformations it undergoes at the molecular level are common tools in science education. These evaluations typically involve identifying traits like color, density, and... Read more »
Assessments evaluating the categorization of matter characteristics as either chemical or physical are valuable tools in science education. A physical characteristic can be observed without changing the substance’s composition, such as melting... Read more »
