A1.2: : use a scientific experimentation process and associated skills to conduct investigations

A1.3: : use an engineering design process and associated skills to design, build, and test devices, models, structures, and/or systems

A1.5: : communicate their findings, using science and technology vocabulary and formats that are appropriate for specific audiences and purposes

B: : Life Systems: Interactions in the Environment

B2: : Exploring and Understanding Concepts: demonstrate an understanding of interactions between and among biotic and abiotic components in the environment

B2.1: : explain that an ecosystem is a network of interactions among living organisms and their environment

B2.2: : identify biotic and abiotic components in an ecosystem, and describe the interactions between them

B2.3: : describe roles and relationships between producers, consumers, and decomposers within an ecosystem

B2.4: : describe the transfer of energy in a food chain, and explain the effects of altering any part of the chain

B2.5: : describe how matter is cycled within the environment, and explain how the cycling of matter promotes sustainability

B2.7: : explain how biotic and abiotic factors limit the number of organisms an ecosystem can sustain

C: : Matter and Energy: Pure Substances and Mixtures

C2: : Exploring and Understanding Concepts: demonstrate an understanding of the nature of matter, including the properties of pure substances and mixtures, and describe these properties using particle theory

C2.1: : demonstrate an understanding of the particle theory of matter

C2.2: : use particle theory to distinguish between pure substances and mixtures

D: : Structures and Mechanisms: Form, Function, and Design of Structures

D2: : Exploring and Understanding Concepts: demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between structural forms and the forces acting on them

D2.5: : describe factors that can cause a structure to fail

E: : Earth and Space Systems: Heat in the Environment

E2: : Exploring and Understanding Concepts: demonstrate an understanding of heat as a form of energy that is associated with the movement of particles and is essential for many natural processes within Earth’s systems

E2.1: : use particle theory to explain how heat affects the motion of particles in a solid, a liquid, and a gas

E2.3: : use particle theory to explain the effects of heat on volume in solids, liquids, and gases, including during changes of states of matter

E2.4: : explain how heat is transmitted through conduction, and describe natural processes that are affected by conduction

E2.5: : explain how heat is transmitted in liquids and gases through convection, and describe natural processes that depend on convection

E2.6: : explain how heat is transmitted through radiation, and describe the effects of radiation from the Sun on different kinds of surfaces

E2.7: : describe the role of radiation in heating and cooling Earth, and explain how greenhouse gases affect the transmission of radiated heat through the atmosphere

E2.8: : identify common sources of greenhouse gases, including sources resulting from human activity, and describe how humans can reduce emissions of these gases
