Matter and Energy - Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
Given illustrations or descriptions, students will compare metals, nonmetals, and metalloids using physical properties such as luster, conductivity, or malleability.
Matter and Energy - Periodic Table
Given descriptions, illustrations, or scenarios, students will interpret the arrangement of the Periodic Table, including groups and periods, to explain how properties are used to classify elements.
Matter and Energy - Chemical Formulas
Given descriptions or chemical formulas containing subscripts, students will identify substances and determine the number of atoms of each element.
Matter and Energy—Chemical Reactions
Given descriptions or illustrations, students will investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicates that new substances with different properties are formed.
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.
