These properties are simpler to test and observe for younger grades. (New York State P-12 Science Learning Standards, n.d.)

They can identify color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility. There are more opportunities for hands-on observation and experiments.

Then going up through the grade levels the standards jump from 2nd grade to 5th grade, where the knowledge and topics of the properties of matter are revisited and then gradually built on in complexity through repeated exposure.

They will have a worksheet to write down what objects they observe and what they note about their properties in the corresponding box category. The properties they will be observing are color, texture, hardness, and flexibility. For example, if a student selects an eraser as their material, they would observe the color, it's texture as smooth or rough, it's hardness, and it's flexibility as either rigid or flimsy.

By fifth grade they can spend a longer time focused on a task, read longer books, and participate in long term projects.
Memory: Long term and short term memory starts to improve as students get older. They can recall things from previous lessons or experiences that occurred months or years before.
Concentration: In second grade, students are more likely to be easily distracted by outside noise or movement, as they get older and get into fifth grade they are much better at ignoring distractions and staying focused on the task in front of them.
Fine Motor Skills: At seven years old, around the time of second grade student's are beginning to master their gross fine more skills such as writing their names and using scissors. By eleven years old, around fifth grade, children show improved handwriting and ability to use a variety of more complex tools.
Language: Second grade students are finally beginning to articulate thoughts and feelings and starting to pronounce words more clearly. They have not perfected everything, but have mastered the skills of reading and writing. At fifth grade  any speech and reading issues should be resolved and students speak fluently and can produce more detailed writing.

Children at this age have more control over themselves and what they do. The content will be more in-depth with the properties of matter, and the children will be working with more information. They can communicate fluently as well as give more detailed written explanations. They will also have the fine motor skills to use more complicated materials. The experiments can be more student-directed, allowing them to explain their thought process. They also will be spending more time on these activities, because their attention span has grown.

At each station would be a different test on materials that the students would need to perform. For example, station 1 would be observing the hardness of the object, the students would be using a tool to determine whether the object will crack or not. Students will be recording their observations in their science journals. The stations would include observing color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility.

This is because of their short attention span and limited ability to concentrate on a given task. They would also study more basic properties of materials due to little prior experience and their limited long term and short term memory. Students will use more verbal responses instead of writing and will use basic materials. Breaks in between tasks may also be necessary if the lesson seems to be taking longer than expected, or is a difficult task. The teacher should also check in with students frequently to make sure they are on task. (Normal Attention Span Expectations By Age, n.d.)

This is the second graders first experience dealing with the properties of different materials. They go into second grade with little prior experience working with structure and properties of matter and from here will expand to explore how an object can be made into a new object and how some changes made to materials can and can not be reversed.

Our standard is the third in a sequence of events and requires prior lessons that involve developing models to show that matter is made of particles too small to be seen, and measuring and graphing quantities to show how energy is conserved. The last standard to be covered in fifth grade comes after our chosen standard and involves conducting an investigation to determine whether mixing two substances results in a different substance.
