Course Name: Modified Physical Science 

Monday

Standard(s): SPS5. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast the phases of matter as they relate to atomic and molecular motion. 

a. Ask questions to compare and contrast models depicting the particle arrangement and motion in solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas.
