        6. Investigate the properties of different materials including solubilities, conductivity, melting points and boiling points.
      - Building blocks
        2. Develop and use models to describe the nature of matter; demonstrate how they provide a simple way to to account for the conservation of mass, changes of state, physical change, chemical change, mixtures, and their separation.
