Changes in Motion
Given diagrams or scenarios, students will measure and graph changes in motion.
Changes in Speed and Direction
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change the speed or direction of an objects motion.
Earth Rotation and Revolution
Given models and illustrations, students will identify how the tilted Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night, and how it revolves around the sun causing changes in the seasons.
The Moon—Lunar Cycle and Tides
Given models and illustrations, students will identify, demonstrate, and predict the sequence of events in the lunar cycle and relate the position of the moon and sun to their effect on ocean tides.
Components of the Universe
Given models, illustrations, and diagrams, students will describe components of the universe, including stars (including the description of the Sun and its properties), nebulae, and galaxies, and use models such as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram for classification.
Electromagnetic Spectrum Introduction
Given diagrams, scenarios, descriptions, and illustrations, students will identify and describe parts and properties of electromagnetic waves and components of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Electromagnetic Spectrum and Components of the Universe
Given diagrams, scenarios, descriptions, and illustrations, students will analyze how different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum such as light and radio waves are used to gain information about distances and properties of components in the universe.
Work and Force
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, or charts, students will contrast situations where work is done with different amounts of force to situations where no work is done, such as moving a box with a ramp and without a ramp or standing still.
Newton’s Laws: Inertia
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, or charts, students will analyze and describe applications of Newton’s law of inertia, such as in vehicle restraints, sports activities, amusement park rides, Earth's tectonic activities, and rocket launches.
Plate Tectonics
Given diagrams, scenarios, descriptions, and illustrations, students will identify the historical development and evidence that supports plate tectonic theory and relate plate tectonics to the formation of crustal features.
Newton’s Laws: Force and Acceleration
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, or charts, students will analyze and describe applications of Newton’s law of force and acceleration.
Newton’s Laws: Action and Reaction
Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, or charts, students will analyze and describes applications of Newton’s law of action-reaction, such as in vehicle restraints, sports activities, amusement park rides, Earths tectonic activities, and rocket launches.
The Sun and Convection Currents
Given diagrams, scenarios, descriptions, and illustrations, students will illustrate how the sun provides the energy that drives convection within the atmosphere and oceans, producing winds and ocean currents.
Organisms and Environments - Environmental Change
Given scenarios or illustrations, students will determine how short and long term environmental changes affect organisms and traits in subsequent populations.
Scientific Investigation and Reasoning - Conservation of Resources
Given choices of natural resources and lab materials, students will select disposal and recycling methods that best conserve and protect our resources.
Scientific Reasoning - Planning Descriptive and Comparative Investigations
Given scenarios of descriptive and comparative investigations, students will plan and implement investigations by making observations and asking well-defined questions.
Scientific Investigation and Reasoning - Measurement
Given field and laboratory scenarios, students will collect and record data using the International System of Units (SI) and qualitative means such as labeled drawings and graphic organizers.
Scientific Reasoning - Planning Comparative and Experimental Investigations
Given scenarios of comparative and experimental investigations, students will plan and implement investigations by making observations and asking well-defined questions and formulating testable hypothesis.
Scientific Investigation and Reasoning - Tools and Technology
Given descriptions of investigation, students will select appropriate tools and technology to collect, record, and analyze information.
